Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The petitioner's counsel argued that required evidence was unavailable from Bosnia, but failed to provide sufficient proof of this unavailability as required by regulations, such as an official government statement. Lacking primary evidence for key criteria like commercial success, and with mere assertions of unavailability being insufficient, the AAO concurred with the director's denial.
