Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum evidentiary requirements, the final merits determination concluded he did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner's past successes as a player and coach did not prove he is currently among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
