Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met three of the initial evidentiary criteria (awards, judging, and display), the AAO determined in its final merits review that the evidence did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner was found to be a respected figure in his home country of Turkey, but his achievements were not sufficient to demonstrate that he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
