Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that his award qualified as a major, internationally recognized achievement, as it lacked evidence of widespread international media coverage or recognition comparable to a Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. Furthermore, the petitioner waived the right to contest the denial of the other regulatory criteria by failing to provide specific arguments or evidence for them on appeal.
