Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not pass the final merits determination. Although the petitioner met three initial evidentiary criteria, the AAO concluded that the totality of the evidence did not establish sustained national or international acclaim, nor that the petitioner was among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
