Our summary
A self-represented petitioner, apparently working in an artistic field, claimed extraordinary ability through awards, membership, published material and judging. The AAO dismissed the appeal because the evidence did not show the stature of the awards, membership requirements, major media coverage or judging role, and also found no evidence of intent to continue work in the United States.
