Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate the beneficiary had achieved sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted evidence, primarily a newspaper article about the petitioner's ranch that briefly mentioned the beneficiary, was found insufficient to meet any of the regulatory criteria. The AAO noted the record lacked evidence like a patent for the beneficiary's designs, concluding the petitioner had not shown the beneficiary was among the small percentage at the top of the field.
