Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as required. The AAO determined that most of the evidence related to a single movie and that political activism was irrelevant to acclaim in the arts, concluding this did not demonstrate a career of acclaimed work at the very top of the field.
