Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his awards were nationally or internationally significant, as most were provincial or local. The AAO also noted inconsistencies in the record, uncertified translations, and a lack of evidence showing sustained acclaim since his arrival in the U.S. in 1997. Additional evidence submitted on appeal was not considered because it was not provided to the director when originally requested.
