Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because despite meeting the minimum of three evidentiary criteria (leading or critical role, judging, and scholarly articles), the evidence was insufficient in the final merits determination. The AAO found that the petitioner's achievements, including limited judging experience from ten years prior and scholarly articles from 2003-2004, did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or place him at the very top of his field.
