dismissed O-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide any evidence to establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability, even after a Request for Evidence. Specifically, the record lacked a required consultation from a peer group and any documentation meeting the evidentiary criteria. The arguments on appeal were deemed irrelevant to the statutory and regulatory requirements for the O-1 classification.
