Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the petitioner's awards were limited to recent graduates and not open to established professionals in the field. Furthermore, the submitted published materials were not primarily about the petitioner but only mentioned him or cited his work in passing, which did not meet the regulatory standard.
