Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence provided for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient, as the awards were either local student recognition or lacked primary evidence, such as the award certificate itself. The AAO found that affidavits alone were not sufficient to prove the receipt or significance of a key national award.
