Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found the evidence submitted did not meet the regulatory criteria, noting that a teaching award was not a nationally recognized prize for excellence in engineering and that memberships in associations, like the Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineers or a listing in 'Who's Who,' lacked proof that they require outstanding achievements as judged by experts.
