Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the regulatory criteria. For the 'prizes or awards' criterion, the evidence showed only a nomination for one award, not its receipt. For another award, the petitioner did not prove he was the actual recipient, and failed to establish that the award was nationally or internationally recognized.
