Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the beneficiary's extraordinary ability. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was deemed insufficient, as the petitioner did not provide objective evidence regarding the prestige of the competitions the beneficiary won. The AAO found the claims of prestige to be conclusory and unsubstantiated.
