Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim, a requirement for the visa. The AAO affirmed the director's finding that the petitioner's awards were primarily local or too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim, and that there was no evidence that the associations the petitioner belonged to required outstanding achievements for membership.
