Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the petitioner's awards from his employer (IBM) were internal company recognition, not nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. Additionally, the petitioner's memberships in professional associations did not meet the criterion of requiring outstanding achievements for admission.
