Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion (honorable mentions) was not proven to be nationally recognized. The petitioner's membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) was not shown to require outstanding achievements, and citations of his work were not considered published material about him.
