Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of his field. The AAO clarified that a prior O-1 nonimmigrant visa approval is not sufficient for an EB-1A petition, as the immigrant classification has a significantly higher standard. The evidence submitted for specific criteria, such as membership in associations and published materials, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate the required level of acclaim.
