Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to address two of the three grounds for denial from the original decision. By only contesting the director's findings on the beneficiary's evidence of extraordinary ability and not the issues of the contract and itinerary of events, the petitioner was deemed to have waived these dispositive issues.
