Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concurred with the director that the petitioner's memberships did not require outstanding achievements, and that his role as a peer reviewer for a former advisor and his supervisory duties did not satisfy the judging criterion. The evidence was insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner is one of the small percentage who have risen to the very top of the field of business.
