Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director found that the numerous awards submitted were local or regional (city or provincial level), not national or international in scope. Additionally, the AAO noted that the petitioner had resided in the U.S. for over five years without establishing a national reputation, casting doubt on the sustained nature of his acclaim.
