Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The evidence provided for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient, as the petitioner's fellowships and postdoctoral positions were considered training opportunities, not awards for excellence. Other submitted awards were determined to be provincial or lacked evidence of national or international significance.
