Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the submitted published materials were not primarily about the petitioner, and for one publication, its status as major media was not established. The decision also noted the director's conclusion that the petitioner had not clearly shown that he judged internationally recognized competitions.
