Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because counsel for the petitioner failed to submit a brief or additional evidence to counter the director's findings. The AAO affirmed the decision that the petitioner had not established the necessary sustained national or international acclaim, either through a major, internationally recognized award or by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO also clarified that prior approvals for O-1 or even the same EB-1A classification do not guarantee a new approval, as eligibility must be established for the current petition.
