Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an agent, failed to provide a complete itinerary and contracts with the beneficiary's employers, which is a regulatory requirement for agent-filed petitions. Beyond this procedural failure, the AAO also found that the submitted evidence, including two testimonials and various album reviews, was insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary meets the substantive criteria for extraordinary ability, as the reviews lacked publication details and the testimonials did not establish significant recognition.
