Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, while the petitioner met the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three criteria, the totality of the evidence did not support a finding of sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found the submitted evidence, including published materials, a claimed award, and proof of earnings, to be insufficient in quality and context to establish that the petitioner had risen to the very top of his field.
