Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted, including a student award, membership in an association after the filing date, articles in local or school newspapers, and displays in local galleries, was insufficient to meet the regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner did not successfully rebut the director's findings on appeal.
