Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that a Daytime Emmy Award won by a program the petitioner worked on did not qualify as a major, internationally recognized award granted to the petitioner himself. Additionally, evidence for other awards and memberships was found insufficient to meet the regulatory standards, as he was not a named recipient of the awards and did not prove his associations required outstanding achievements for membership.
