Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish his intent to continue working in his field in the United States at the time of filing the petition. Additionally, the AAO conducted a de novo review and found that the petitioner also failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim, noting that a claimed award was undocumented and team championships were not recent enough to show sustained acclaim.
