Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability, specifically that he had risen to the very top of his field. The AAO further determined a discrepancy between the petitioner's area of acclaim (as a physician/medical scientist) and his intended area of work in the U.S. (as an assistant professor of clinical medicine), which are considered different areas of expertise for this classification.
