Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim at the time of filing in 2007. The director determined the petitioner only met two of the ten regulatory criteria, falling short of the required three. The AAO specifically noted that the most significant evidence, including the petitioner's awards, dated from 2001 or earlier, which was too far in the past to establish sustained acclaim.
