Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the required evidentiary criteria for an individual of extraordinary ability in the arts. The evidence submitted to show national or international recognition was found to be promotional material from the beneficiary's radio station, not independent critical reviews or published materials about the beneficiary's achievements. The AAO also refused to consider new eligibility claims and evidence submitted for the first time on appeal.
