Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO concluded that the petitioner had not demonstrated the beneficiary's sustained national or international acclaim. Although the Service Center Director found three criteria were met, the AAO disagreed with the finding on 'original contributions of major significance.' In the final merits determination, the AAO found the totality of the evidence, including limited instances of judging, did not establish that the beneficiary had risen to the small percentage at the very top of his field.
