Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the required sustained national or international acclaim as either a gladiator or a coach. The AAO concurred with the director that the evidence, particularly a subjective letter from a fellow gladiator, was insufficient and that the record lacked evidence of prospective job opportunities for performing gladiators in the United States.
