Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the Director and AAO agreed the petitioner met three initial evidentiary criteria (judging, contributions, scholarly articles), the petitioner failed the final merits determination. The AAO found that the evidence, when considered in its totality, did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or that the petitioner was among the small percentage at the very top of the field.
