Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the required three evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. While the director acknowledged the beneficiary met the 'authorship of scholarly articles' criterion, the AAO found the petitioner did not successfully argue for the 'original contributions' or 'high salary' criteria, and had abandoned other initially claimed criteria on appeal.
