Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the required level of exceptional ability. The AAO determined that the petitioner's business licenses did not satisfy the 'license to practice' criterion and that their awards and letters of recommendation did not demonstrate significant contributions to the broader industry. The petitioner also failed to meet the high salary criterion.
