Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the required sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted evidence, primarily letters from colleagues, was found insufficient as it only confirmed the petitioner's competence and job performance, rather than demonstrating achievements that placed him at the very top of his field. The evidence did not prove that his contributions were of major significance beyond his immediate employers or that his role in judging others was indicative of acclaim.
