Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to identify a specific error of law or fact, as required by regulation. The petitioner's argument that the director misclassified the beneficiary's field as 'business' instead of 'science' was found to be a matter of semantics, as the legal standard for extraordinary ability is the same for both fields.
