Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO found that the petitioner did not meet the minimum requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. In the final merits determination, the AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he is one of the small percentage at the very top of the field and has not achieved sustained national or international acclaim.
