Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO agreed with the director that the petitioner did not provide evidence of a major, one-time achievement, nor did they meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The submitted evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, specifically a travel award, was found insufficient to demonstrate national or international recognition for excellence in the field.
