Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was granted, but the previous decision dismissing the appeal was affirmed and the petition remains denied. The petitioner failed to establish that he met the requisite three evidentiary criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO concluded that the petitioner had not demonstrated sustained national or international acclaim and did not prove he was among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
