Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met three of the initial evidentiary criteria (judging, authorship, and leading/critical role), the evidence in totality was insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's achievements did not place him among the small percentage at the very top of his field, as required for the extraordinary ability classification.
