Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner did not provide evidence of a major, internationally-recognized award, nor did they submit sufficient evidence to meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO also noted a failure to establish eligibility as a coach, as distinct from a fighter.
