Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three initial evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim in the final merits determination. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's activities, such as peer review and publishing articles, were routine for a researcher and did not sufficiently prove that he had risen to the small percentage at the very top of his field.
