Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the required sustained national or international acclaim. The director found that the submitted evidence, such as certificates of recognition from local and state officials and inclusion in 'Who's Who' publications, did not constitute nationally or internationally recognized awards for excellence. The evidence was deemed to reflect only local or regional recognition, which is insufficient for the extraordinary ability classification.
