Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the requisite number of regulatory criteria. The director determined the petitioner had not demonstrated sustained national or international acclaim through extensive documentation. The AAO found that evidence for the awards criterion was submitted after the petition's filing date and, regardless, lacked evidence of the awards' national or international recognition.
