Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, a ballet dancer, qualified as an alien with extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that the evidence, including critical reviews and testimonial letters, was insufficient to prove the beneficiary performed in a lead or starring role for distinguished productions, received significant recognition, or otherwise met at least three of the required regulatory criteria.
