Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the minimum of three regulatory criteria required for the classification. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's award was local, not nationally recognized, and that the submitted published materials consisted of local coverage, advertisements, and promotional pieces rather than significant coverage in major media. This evidence was insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
