Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's 1997 Asian Television Award did not qualify as a 'one-time major, internationally recognized award,' as it was deemed regional rather than global and was awarded to the production company, not the petitioner individually. Furthermore, the award was too old to demonstrate the required 'sustained' acclaim at the time the petition was filed in 2004, and the petitioner's subsequent position as an intern was inconsistent with being at the top of the field.
