Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's achievements as a tennis player translated into sustained national or international acclaim as a tennis coach. The AAO also found that the evidence submitted, such as a 'Champion of the Caribbean' title, was insufficient to prove the beneficiary had received a major, internationally recognized award.
