Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner satisfied the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria (scholarly articles, critical role, and high salary), the AAO concluded in its final merits determination that the evidence in totality did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's achievements were not deemed sufficient to prove he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
