Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence of awards was deemed local/provincial rather than national, and the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence of performing in a leading or critical role for a distinguished organization. The AAO also noted a lack of evidence that the petitioner had continued working in his field since arriving in the U.S., which undermines the requirement for sustained acclaim.
