Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as a wrestler. The director revoked the initial approval, finding the petitioner did not demonstrate receipt of a major, internationally recognized award or meet at least three of the alternative criteria. Although the petitioner met the 'lesser awards' criterion, the evidence for 'membership in associations' was deemed insufficient because proof of Olympic team membership post-dated the petition's filing date.
