Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's awards were from over ten years prior to filing and did not demonstrate that the acclaim was maintained, a requirement of the statute. Evidence for other criteria, such as membership in associations and published material, was either insufficient to meet the standard or was submitted after the petition's filing date and therefore not considered.
