Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the necessary sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient, as the awards were for completing training programs, were of local or regional significance rather than national or international, or were student travel awards, none of which demonstrated that the petitioner had risen to the very top of his field.
