Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that his 1985 award was nationally or internationally recognized. Furthermore, the AAO determined that a single award received 23 years prior to filing the petition does not establish the required sustained acclaim for this visa category.
