Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director found that the petitioner did not demonstrate receipt of a major award or meet at least three of the regulatory criteria. Specifically, the evidence for lesser awards was insufficient, as the petitioner failed to establish their national or international prestige or that they were awarded for excellence within the petitioner's field.
