Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim at the time of filing the petition. The AAO found that any recognition the petitioner may have enjoyed was as a child in Thailand in the 1990s and was not sustained. The evidence provided, such as youth awards and performances, was insufficient to demonstrate the high level of acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability.
