Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim necessary for the classification. The petitioner did not meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria, and evidence for an award was submitted too late on appeal to be considered. Additionally, the petitioner failed to provide clear evidence that he intended to continue working in his area of expertise in the United States.
