Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner's awards were student-level achievements, not prizes for excellence in the professional field. Furthermore, the petitioner's memberships in associations did not require 'outstanding achievements' as judged by experts, which is a necessary standard for this criterion.
