Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the beneficiary had achieved sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the awards submitted were won by the beneficiary's employer, not the beneficiary himself. Furthermore, the evidence for membership in a professional association did not establish that the association requires outstanding achievements of its members.
