Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.

Specifically, the petitioner's scholarships were for students, not established professionals, an internal company award lacked evidence of national recognition, and he failed to prove membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement.
