Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO determined that the award the petitioner presented as a 'one-time achievement' was a national award within Brazil at the time it was received, not a major, internationally recognized award as required by the regulation. Evidence indicated the award's international component was not established until several years after the petitioner won.
