A film and television producer was the beneficiary of an O-1 petition filed by a production company. The director revoked approval for lack of extraordinary achievement. The AAO withdrew that decision and remanded it so the director could consider the evidence submitted in response to the notice of intent and the petitioner's apparent dissolution.

Art museum petitioned for associate curator beneficiary for O-1A extraordinary ability. AAO dismissed appeal, finding no significant national or international award and failure to meet three of six alternate criteria; comparable evidence argument rejected.

An artist agent, who is also a professor of studio arts, petitioned for a fine artist under the O-1 classification for extraordinary ability in the arts. This is O-1B, not O-1A. The AAO dismissed the appeal because the evidence did not satisfy three of the alternative regulatory criteria.

A sculptor petitioned to sponsor a painter as O-1A. The AAO dismissed the appeal, finding the petitioner failed to satisfy the evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability and also failed to detail wage, fee structure, and specific event dates and locations as required.
