Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence provided, a second-place award from a competition limited to college students, was found insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner is among the small percentage who have risen to the very top of their field, as it did not compare him to experienced professionals.
Criteria Discussed
Documentation Of The Alien'S Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence In The Field Of Endeavor.
