Conclusion
Final Determination: The appeal is rejected.
Reasoning: The primary reason for rejection was the failure to submit a properly executed Form G-28 with the appeal, leading to the consideration that the petitioner was self-represented. Moreover, the form lacked the required signature from an authorized signatory, invalidating the appeal. The petitioner did not meet the minimum number of criteria to qualify for extraordinary ability classification.
Next Steps: It is recommended that the petitioner ensures all necessary documentation is correctly submitted in future filings, including a properly executed Form G-28, and reviews the evidentiary criteria thoroughly to ensure compliance.
