Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria (published material, judging, and display), the overall evidence was insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. In the final merits determination, the AAO found the quality of the evidence, such as for his award, did not establish that he had risen to the very top of his field.
