Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim at the time of filing the petition. The AAO agreed with the director that the evidence submitted, such as awards and judging experience, was too old (predating the petition by over 13 years) and therefore did not demonstrate current acclaim. The petitioner also failed to meet other claimed criteria.
