Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner failed to provide evidence of a major, internationally-recognized award and did not meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically for the awards criterion, the evidence showed the award was given to a news outlet, not to the petitioner as an individual.
