Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director found the petitioner did not prove receipt of a major international award or meet at least three of the regulatory criteria. Specifically, the AAO found that the petitioner's membership in the International Association of Hispanists did not require outstanding achievements for admission, and there was insufficient evidence for other claimed memberships.
