Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director determined the petitioner did not submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, the evidence for membership in associations was found deficient because the petitioner's 'Distinguished Fellow' status was not conferred until after the petition was filed and, regardless, was not shown to require 'outstanding achievements' as judged by experts in the field.
