Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The evidence submitted for the awards criterion, such as an internal company award, was found to be institutional recognition rather than national or international recognition. The AAO also rejected the petitioner's argument to use 'comparable evidence' because the standard regulatory criteria were deemed applicable to the petitioner's occupation.
