Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary failed to demonstrate that he met the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's 'Israeli Ministry of Health Award' was an institutional award, not a national or international prize, and a 'Seeger Grant' was research funding rather than an award for excellence. Therefore, the evidence was insufficient to establish extraordinary ability.
