Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was granted, but the AAO's previous dismissal of the appeal was affirmed. The decision was based on the petitioner's failure to provide required evidence, such as written contracts or a detailed itinerary for the beneficiary's proposed engagements. Additionally, the AAO concurred with the director that the evidence submitted did not prove the beneficiary possessed the necessary extraordinary ability in the arts.
