Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition for failing to submit a required peer group consultation and for failing to establish the beneficiary's sustained acclaim. Although the AAO found the petitioner did successfully submit an appropriate consultation from an expert in the field, it ultimately dismissed the appeal. The dismissal was based on the more involved issue of whether the beneficiary possessed the required extraordinary ability in athletics demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim.
