Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as a soccer coach. The AAO determined that the petitioner's past awards as a player were not relevant to his current field of coaching, which is considered a different area of expertise. Additionally, the evidence for a coaching award was found insufficient as it was not primary evidence from the awarding body.
