Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director and AAO found the evidence insufficient; for instance, the petitioner's awards were not recent enough to show sustained acclaim, a submitted certificate was not considered a membership in a qualifying association, and published articles were merely routine competition reports rather than material specifically about the petitioner.
