Decision Summary
The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his achievements, particularly a Brazilian jiu-jitsu medal, amounted to sustained national or international acclaim in his field of law enforcement training. The AAO concluded that acclaim as a competitive athlete does not automatically confer acclaim as a trainer and that the award itself was not at the highest level, having been won in a competition restricted by age and skill level.
