Decision Summary
The director denied the petition because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim, either by receiving a major, internationally recognized award or by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO dismissed the appeal, concurring with the director's finding and concluding that the submitted evidence did not prove the petitioner had reached the very top of his field.
