Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the minimum of three regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the evidence submitted for the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion, such as video game credits and Wikipedia entries, was insufficient to prove that the beneficiary's work rose to the level of major significance in the field.
