Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the required sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the submitted evidence, such as certificates of appreciation, participation, and a scholarship, did not meet the standard for either a major, internationally recognized one-time achievement or for lesser nationally/internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence.
