Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The evidence submitted for the 'awards' criterion was found insufficient, as it lacked certified translations, proof of the petitioner's receipt of the awards, and evidence of the awards' national or international significance. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner did not meet the high standard for an alien of extraordinary ability.
