Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed the final merits determination. Although the petitioner met three initial evidentiary criteria, the AAO concluded that the evidence, including student fellowships, conference awards, and reference letters, did not demonstrate the required sustained national or international acclaim to prove the petitioner was among the very top of the field.
