Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had achieved sustained national or international acclaim and was one of the small percentage at the top of his field. The director initially denied the petition for failing to meet any of the regulatory criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO upheld this decision, finding the submitted evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary's eligibility, despite the petitioner's arguments regarding the beneficiary's field and the consideration of comparable evidence.
