Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three evidentiary criteria (high salary, judging abstracts, and authoring scholarly articles), the evidence in totality did not demonstrate that the petitioner had sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that his limited judging experience and two articles were insufficient to establish that he had a 'career of acclaimed work' or had risen to the very top of his field.
