Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary qualified as an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the beneficiary's academic fellowships and local teaching awards did not meet the standard for nationally recognized prizes. Additionally, the submitted evidence for membership in associations did not prove that these organizations require outstanding achievements for entry.
