Our summary
A vocalist claimed extraordinary ability and submitted an award, a published article, and evidence of performances. The AAO found the award lacked national or international prominence, the published material was not primarily about the petitioner and lacked a publication date, and performances alone did not demonstrate commercial success. The petitioner met fewer than three criteria and failed to show sustained national or international acclaim.
