Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence for the claimed criteria. The submitted documents for awards, memberships, and scholarly articles lacked proper certified translations and evidence of national recognition or significance. Furthermore, there was no proof that the petitioner commanded a high salary relative to others in the field, and the AAO noted a failure to demonstrate sustained acclaim since arriving in the U.S.
