Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director's revocation of the initial approval was upheld. The AAO found that the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification, failing to demonstrate receipt of a major award or meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, the evidence submitted for awards and memberships in associations was deemed insufficient to meet the high standard of the classification.
