Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting the minimum evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed the final merits determination. The AAO concluded that a single national award from 2008, limited media coverage, and judging roles at festivals he organized did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim, nor did it prove he was among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
