Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's awards from the 1970s and 1980s did not demonstrate sustained acclaim. Additionally, the AAO determined that the petitioner's achievements as a competitive bodybuilder were in a different area of expertise than his proposed work as a coach, and there was no evidence he intended to continue competing in the U.S.
