Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim by meeting the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The director had determined the petitioner only met two criteria. The AAO's analysis agreed with the director, finding the evidence submitted for the 'membership in associations' criterion was insufficient because it did not demonstrate that membership required outstanding achievements judged by experts.
