Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a tailor and embroidery designer, failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted, consisting of a letter from a former employer and photographs of work, was insufficient to meet any of the regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner also failed to respond to a request for evidence and did not challenge the director's findings on appeal.
