Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO agreed with the director that the evidence did not demonstrate the petitioner was one of the small percentage at the very top of their field. The decision also noted that prior O-1 approvals do not guarantee approval for the higher EB-1A standard and that expert letters submitted were insufficient as they contained unsupported generalizations.
