Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim necessary for the classification. Although the AAO withdrew the director's finding on the 'lesser awards' criterion and found the petitioner met it, the petitioner ultimately failed to demonstrate he met at least three of the required criteria to prove he is one of the small percentage at the very top of his field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement
