Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The initial petition and the appeal did not provide evidence that satisfied any of the required regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The submitted documentation, such as character references and employment records as a bookkeeper, was deemed irrelevant to the claim.
