Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. While the AAO found the petitioner met the scholarly articles criterion, he failed to establish eligibility under the awards and membership criteria, as research grants were not considered awards and there was no evidence that his memberships required outstanding achievements.
