Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met three of the required evidentiary criteria, the totality of the evidence did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's service as a peer reviewer and the citation count for his published articles were not sufficient to demonstrate that he had risen to the very top of his field, as a comparison placed him in the middle of his peers.
