Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because even though the AAO determined the petitioner met four of the initial evidentiary criteria (judging, authorship, published material, and leading/critical roles), it found in its final merits determination that the totality of the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
