Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because it was filed untimely. The director correctly treated the late appeal as a motion to reopen and affirmed the denial. On the merits, the AAO agreed the evidence was insufficient, noting that a prize submitted by the petitioner was from a regional youth competition and did not establish national or international acclaim at the top of the field.
