Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found that his position as an assistant professor and his salary were not indicative of being at the top of his field. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his memberships in professional associations, such as IEEE, required outstanding achievements as judged by recognized experts.
