Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted awards were not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized, the memberships did not have stringent requirements for outstanding achievement, and the evidence of exhibitions was unsubstantiated. The petitioner did not meet the high standard of being among the small percentage at the very top of the field.
