Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required. The evidence for the 'awards' criterion was found insufficient, as the awards were not nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in the petitioner's field, but were rather for participation, from local organizations, or in a different field. The AAO also withdrew the director's finding on the 'published material' criterion, stating the articles were promotional, not primarily about the petitioner, and lacked required information like author names.
