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 that the evidence, particularly regarding the submitted awards, was insufficient to prove they were nationally or internationally recognized or that the competitions were highly selective, thus not meeting the high standard for an alien of extraordinary ability.
