Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director determined the petitioner did not meet the high standard, and the AAO upheld this decision, finding the evidence submitted did not satisfy the regulatory criteria. For example, under the 'prizes or awards' criterion, one claimed title was obtained after the petition's filing date and was therefore ineligible for consideration.
