Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for an award did not prove its significance, claims of exhibitions were unsubstantiated, and the evidence for commercial success was deemed insufficient and inapplicable to the petitioner's field. The petitioner failed to meet at least three of the required criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability.
