Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as required for the classification. The AAO concurred with the director's findings that the petitioner's awards were student-based or provincial rather than nationally recognized, and membership in the submitted association did not require outstanding achievements of its members.
