Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director determined, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner had not submitted qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory categories. The AAO found that the petitioner's appeal did not present new evidence or successfully argue that the director misapplied the law.
