Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found deficiencies in the evidence, such as awards that post-dated the petition's filing date, and translations of documents that were not properly certified as required by regulations. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that the submitted awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence.
