Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director found, and the AAO concurred, that the evidence did not satisfy at least three of the regulatory criteria. Specifically, the evidence for lesser awards was deemed insufficient, as trophies did not bear the petitioner's name and submitted documents lacked certified translations.
