Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the initial evidence requirement of satisfying at least three regulatory criteria. The AAO determined the beneficiary met only one criterion (receipt of lesser nationally recognized awards as part of a team), which was insufficient to establish extraordinary ability.
