Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed the final merits determination. The AAO found the petitioner's acclaim was not individual but rather collective, tied to the highly regarded laboratory and professor he worked with. The evidence did not demonstrate that the petitioner had personally achieved sustained national or international acclaim and was at the very top of the field.
