Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary meets the requirements for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's awards were institutional, not nationally or internationally recognized, and his memberships in professional organizations did not require outstanding achievements for entry. Therefore, the evidence was insufficient to prove the beneficiary had sustained national or international acclaim.
