Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted awards were deemed scholastic or internal honors, not nationally recognized prizes. The petitioner's memberships in professional associations did not require outstanding achievements, and the evidence of published material and citations was insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner's work was discussed by others in major media.
