Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO concurred with the director's finding that the petitioner provided no evidence of receiving lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards. Furthermore, evidence submitted for the membership criterion was deemed to have limited probative value, as expert letters contained identical, non-independently prepared text and lacked primary evidence for key claims.
