Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the petitioner's first-place championship finish did not qualify as a major, internationally recognized award, as there was insufficient evidence of its prestige or international importance. While the AAO found the petitioner did meet the lesser awards criterion, the overall conclusion was that the petitioner failed to meet the required three out of ten criteria to qualify.
