Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the AAO found the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria (scholarly articles, judging, and high salary), it concluded in its final merits determination that the totality of the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's achievements, particularly his role in judging residency candidates at his own institutions, were not considered significant enough to prove he had risen to the very top of his field.
