Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concurred, also noting a discrepancy between the petitioner's expertise as an actor/director/screenwriter and his proposed work as a 'Teacher of Dramatic Arts', which the AAO considered to be a different area of expertise.
