Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed based on the final merits determination. Although the AAO concluded that the Beneficiary met the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying three criteria (membership, original contributions, and a leading/critical role), it found that the totality of the evidence did not establish sustained national or international acclaim, nor did it demonstrate that the Beneficiary was among the small percentage at the very top of the field of endeavor.
