Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed extraordinary ability in the proposed field of employment, which was management. The evidence submitted demonstrated the beneficiary's past acclaim as an athlete (skier), but did not prove extraordinary ability as a general manager, as required by the regulations for the position offered.
