Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director determined the petitioner did not meet the regulatory criteria, and the AAO upheld this finding, rejecting the appellant's argument that the director rigidly applied the standards without considering other factors or comparable evidence.
