Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence of awards was from juvenile and amateur competitions, not the highest professional level. Furthermore, there was no evidence that the beneficiary had sustained his acclaim by coaching other dancers to national or international titles.
