Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a taekwondo coach, failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that his past achievements as a competitor did not establish his extraordinary ability as a coach, as these are different areas of expertise. Furthermore, evidence regarding his students' successes occurred after the petition's filing date and could not be considered.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
