Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found the evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion insufficient, noting that for two awards, the petitioner submitted non-contemporaneous certifications from his employer rather than the awards themselves. A third award was deemed too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim, and its national significance was not adequately documented.
