Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the beneficiary's sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concurred with the director's finding that the petitioner failed to provide qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The decision also clarified that a prior O-1 nonimmigrant visa approval does not guarantee eligibility for the EB-1A immigrant classification, as the latter has a significantly higher legal standard.
