Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability. The beneficiary's awards were deemed insignificant as they were won over 15 years ago and some were in junior categories. The petitioner also failed to provide sufficient evidence of the beneficiary performing in a lead, starring, or critical role for distinguished organizations, or that he had achieved national or international recognition through published materials.
