Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove receipt of a major, internationally recognized award, as the primary award cited was for a team and not sufficiently recognized. Although the AAO determined the petitioner met three of the lesser evidentiary criteria, it concluded in the final merits determination that the record as a whole did not establish sustained national or international acclaim or that the petitioner had risen to the very top of his field.
