Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence provided did not meet the standard for nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards. The AAO determined that the petitioner's student honors and academic scholarships were related to training rather than his professional field and were not indicative of being at the very top of his field. Other submitted honors lacked sufficient documentation to establish their national or international significance.
