Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required. Specifically, the evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient to prove that the petitioner's awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. The AAO determined that while the petitioner's art may have international value, this did not demonstrate that the awards themselves had achieved national or international recognition.
