Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability. The evidence for an award was deemed to reflect only local recognition, not national or international acclaim. Published materials were not primarily about the beneficiary, were from non-major media, or were published after the petition's filing date and thus could not be considered.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Or Other Major Media Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others
