Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, a tennis professional, is an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found the evidence insufficient to meet at least three of the required criteria, concluding that the beneficiary's awards, memberships, and past employment did not demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required for the O-1 classification.
