Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the record did not establish the beneficiary's eligibility as an individual with extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry. While the AAO withdrew the Director's finding about inconsistent job duties, it ultimately concluded that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the high evidentiary standard required for the classification, which involves either receiving a major award or satisfying at least three of the six alternative criteria.
