Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate the beneficiary's extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the submitted evidence did not prove that the beneficiary's memberships in associations required outstanding achievements from its members. Furthermore, it was not established that the beneficiary's participation on a panel involved judging the work of others.
