Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required evidentiary criteria to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The awards presented were deemed local rather than national, evidence for a published article did not prove it was in a major publication, and the claim of a high salary was unsubstantiated and lacked comparison to others in the field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence Authorship Of Scholarly Articles In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Or Other Major Media Commanded A High Salary Or Other Significantly High Remuneration For Services
