Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence failed to establish the petitioner's sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's fellowship was not proven to be a nationally or internationally recognized award, and the submitted articles were insufficient as they were either in non-major media or only contained brief mentions of the petitioner, rather than being primarily about his work.
