Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concurred with the director that the evidence submitted, including a research grant, postdoctoral fellowships, and an academic scholarship, did not constitute prizes or awards for excellence. These were viewed as funding for future work or training opportunities for students and young researchers, not as recognition for being at the very top of the field.
