Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO determined that the petitioner's student-level awards did not qualify as prizes for excellence in the field. Additionally, the petitioner's memberships in professional associations were found not to require 'outstanding achievements' as judged by experts, which is a requirement under the regulations.
