Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of his field. The AAO determined that an award won as a teenager was not indicative of acclaim among established professionals. Furthermore, evidence for a second award was deemed insufficient as it was secondary evidence and did not prove the petitioner was the named recipient.
