Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient documentary evidence to meet at least three of the required criteria. For claims of authorship, exhibitions, and high remuneration for his teapot designs, the petitioner provided little to no supporting documentation, such as proof of publication, evidence the exhibitions took place, or records of actual sales. The AAO concluded that the petitioner had not established sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of the field.
