Decision Summary

The director denied the petition based on a finding of marriage fraud under INA 204(c) and for failure to meet the extraordinary ability criteria. While the AAO found insufficient evidence to support the marriage fraud determination, the appeal was ultimately dismissed, upholding the denial based on the petitioner's failure to demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification.
