Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director and the AAO found the evidence insufficient for each criterion claimed, noting that the petitioner's awards were student-level honors, his memberships did not require outstanding achievements, and articles citing his work were not 'about' him as required by regulation. Evidence of judging the work of others was also deemed inadequate.
