Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the petitioner's awards did not meet the standard; one award was received after the petition's filing date and was also deemed a regional award for trainees, not indicative of being at the very top of the field.
