Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner attempted to materially change the petition's basis from an actor/director in the arts to an athlete/instructor, which the AAO deemed impermissible. The AAO proceeded to adjudicate the petition on its original basis in the arts and found the evidence, such as decades-old awards in a different field, insufficient to meet the high standard for the classification.
