Final merits determination — sustained national or international acclaim
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO affirmed the director's final merits findings. The petitioner only met one criterion; awards dated from 2004 or earlier could not establish sustained acclaim by the 2011 filing date; and the petitioner's intended work as an instructor was a different area of expertise than his claimed extraordinary ability as a competitor.

The AAO found that the petitioner failed to submit evidence of the criteria for selection and comprehensive results demonstrating the significance of the competitive categories won.

The motion was received by the Texas Service Center 43 days after the prior AAO decision, well beyond the 30-day deadline, and the discretionary late-filing excuse does not apply to motions to reconsider. Misfiling at the AAO was not beyond the petitioner's control given the AAO's prior instruction to file with the originating office.
