Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for membership in associations was found insufficient as the organizations did not require outstanding achievements for admission. Additionally, the petitioner's argument that citations of his work constituted 'published material about the alien' was rejected, as the AAO determined such material must be primarily about the individual's work, not just a reference within another's research.
