Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner established sustained national acclaim as an athlete, he failed to demonstrate that he had sustained that acclaim in his new field as a performer. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted for his performing career was insufficient to prove he is among the small percentage at the very top of that field.
