Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition for not meeting at least three criteria. While the AAO found that the petitioner did meet three criteria (judging, authorship, and original contributions of major significance), it ultimately dismissed the appeal, implying that in the final merits determination, the evidence was not sufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim and that the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field.
