Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three evidentiary criteria (high salary, judging, and a leading/critical role), the petitioner failed to pass the final merits determination. The AAO concluded that the beneficiary's achievements, such as serving on an internal company patent review board, were not recognized by the broader field and did not demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required to be considered at the very top of his field.
