Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found the petitioner did not submit qualifying evidence to meet the minimum threshold of three regulatory criteria. The decision also clarified that a prior O-1 nonimmigrant visa approval is not binding on the adjudication of this immigrant petition, which has a higher standard.
