Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed the final merits determination. Although the petitioner satisfied the initial evidentiary requirements, the AAO found that the record did not establish that his acclaim was sustained over a long period, noting his achievements and media coverage were heavily concentrated between 2011 and 2015.
