Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the standards for an alien of extraordinary ability. The evidence did not show the beneficiary performed as a lead or starring participant in productions with a distinguished reputation. Additionally, published articles about the beneficiary were disregarded because they were not submitted with a certified English translation.
