Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his awards were nationally or internationally significant, failing to provide evidence of the selection criteria or publicity surrounding them. The petitioner also did not demonstrate that his membership in certain associations was based on outstanding achievements, a key requirement for that criterion. The AAO also noted a lack of sustained acclaim, as the petitioner's awards were dated and he had not won any significant awards since arriving in the U.S. in 1998.
