Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner established that the beneficiary met three evidentiary criteria (judging, scholarly articles, and high salary), a final merits determination found the evidence insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concluded that the beneficiary's awards and memberships did not prove he had risen to the very top of his field.
