Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, a professional boxer, had achieved the necessary sustained national or international acclaim. The Director determined, and the AAO concurred, that the petitioner did not document a one-time major achievement or meet at least three of the eight alternative evidentiary criteria. The petitioner also failed to submit a promised brief or additional evidence on appeal to counter the initial denial.
