Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that achievements claimed on appeal occurred after the petition's filing date and could not be considered. Furthermore, the petitioner's judging experience, published materials, and role at an academy were deemed insufficient to prove he had risen to the very top of his field.
