Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he qualifies as an alien of exceptional ability in business. The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument that the standard regulatory criteria did not apply to his occupation as an 'entrepreneurial publisher.' The decision found the petitioner did not meet the evidentiary requirements for at least three of the six listed criteria for exceptional ability.
