Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the evidence, such as being a finalist in a student-only entrepreneurship competition, did not constitute a nationally or internationally recognized award for excellence in the field of engineering. The evidence was found to be insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner had risen to the very top of his field.
