Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the required criteria for extraordinary ability. The evidence for awards and memberships did not establish that they were nationally recognized or required outstanding achievements. Furthermore, submitted published materials were deemed advertisements, and the proffered salary was not considered high, with an attempt to amend it on appeal being disallowed.
