Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO determined that the petitioner's awards were student-level or for 'aspiring' artists, not indicative of someone at the very top of the field. Additionally, submitted published materials did not meet the specific regulatory requirements, such as identifying the author, and were therefore not sufficient.
