Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that activities like writing scholarly articles and participating in peer review were routine in the petitioner's field, not evidence of being at the very top. The evidence, including peer review invitations that also went to students, did not support the claim that these activities were reserved for acclaimed experts.
