Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. While the Director and the AAO agreed he met the judging criterion, they found his student awards and fellowships did not qualify as nationally or internationally recognized prizes. The petitioner failed to establish eligibility under other claimed criteria, thus not demonstrating sustained acclaim or that he is at the top of his field.
