Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director determined the evidence did not meet the regulatory criteria, and the AAO agreed. Specifically, the evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was deemed insufficient as it was self-serving and did not demonstrate the national or international recognition of the award.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
