Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted, which related to his work as a boxing coach in Turkey, was from the early 1980s and did not establish that any acclaim had been maintained up to the time of filing in 2006. Furthermore, the petitioner's evidence was insufficient to meet the specific regulatory criteria for awards, judging the work of others, or serving in a leading or critical role.
