Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary threshold of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director determined the petitioner did not meet any of the six claimed criteria, and the AAO, upon de novo review, agreed with this conclusion. The evidence submitted for the claimed criteria, such as lesser awards, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
