Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's evidence did not meet the regulatory criteria, finding that travel grants from an employer do not constitute nationally recognized awards and that the submitted memberships in professional associations do not require outstanding achievements for admission.
