Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's acclaimed expertise as a competitive acrobat was considered a different field from his proposed work as a 'Cossack Dzhigit Rider' for a circus. Additionally, the evidence submitted, a certificate of participation, did not qualify as a major, internationally recognized award, and the petitioner did not demonstrate sustained acclaim in his current field.
Criteria Discussed
Major, Internationally-Recognized Award
