Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the required regulatory criteria. The director and the AAO found the evidence submitted for awards, memberships, published materials, and original contributions to be insufficient. For example, the awards were deemed local, not national, and published materials were not established as being from major media or primarily about the beneficiary.
