Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the Director found the Petitioner met three regulatory criteria, the AAO affirmed the final merits determination that the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found the Petitioner's arguments on appeal regarding the 'prizes or awards' criterion unpersuasive, agreeing with the Director that the submitted scholarships and awards lacked sufficient evidence of national or international recognition in the field.
