Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence presented did not meet the regulatory criteria, specifically regarding prizes or awards. The AAO determined that the petitioner's associate professor position was a job, his patent was a property right, and his fellowships were designed to promote future research for young scientists, none of which constituted a nationally or internationally recognized prize or award for excellence.
