Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the petitioner relied too heavily on witness letters, which cannot form the cornerstone of a successful claim, and did not provide sufficient objective evidence to meet the regulatory criteria for extraordinary ability.
