Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate exceptional ability in the final merits determination. Although the petitioner met the minimum number of initial criteria, the AAO found the evidence did not show he possessed a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in his field. Specifically, he failed to prove his salary was exceptionally high, and his contributions were found to be confined to the organizations he worked for, rather than impacting the broader field.
