Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The director and the AAO found that the petitioner's evidence did not meet the required criteria, specifically regarding awards. A second-place award lacked evidence of national or international significance, and a scholarship was deemed financial assistance for training rather than an award for excellence.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
