Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim as a gymnastics coach. The AAO determined that awards won as a competitor were not in the petitioner's current field of endeavor as a coach. Additionally, awards won by the petitioner's students did not meet the regulatory requirement that the alien be the direct recipient of the awards.
