Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. Although the director initially found three criteria were met, the AAO conducted a de novo review and concluded the petitioner failed to submit qualifying evidence to satisfy at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO found the petitioner had not demonstrated being one of the small percentage at the very top of the field.
