Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria necessary to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director and the AAO concluded that the submitted evidence was insufficient, noting for example that research fellowships constitute funding for future work rather than prizes or awards for excellence.
