Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary, a tennis professional, met the required evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO found the evidence insufficient to satisfy the criteria for awards, membership in exclusive associations, judging the work of others, employment in a critical capacity, or commanding a high salary.
