Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. Although the petitioner satisfied the criterion for original contributions of major significance, the evidence for judging the work of others was found to be insufficient, as occasional peer review is a routine professional obligation, not proof of being at the very top of the field. The petitioner did not meet the overall high standard or the required number of criteria to qualify for the classification.
