Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for awards was insufficient as the significance of the prizes was not established, and they were not recent. The petitioner also failed to prove that the beneficiary's membership in the Ukrainian National team required outstanding achievements of its members.
