Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary qualifies as an alien with extraordinary ability in the arts. The evidence submitted, consisting of publicity flyers and reviews, did not prove that the beneficiary performed in a lead or starring role in productions with a distinguished reputation, nor did it demonstrate that he had achieved sustained national or international acclaim.
