Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not address the director's original decision denying the extraordinary ability classification. Instead, the petitioner improperly attempted to argue eligibility for a different classification (skilled worker) on appeal, which is not allowed. As the petitioner failed to identify any error of law or fact in the original denial, the appeal was summarily dismissed.
