Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an electrician, failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the submitted certificates and awards were for local recognition or completion of vocational training, not nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. The evidence provided was insufficient to prove the petitioner had risen to the very top of his field as required for this classification.
