Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the AAO determined the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria (awards, judging, and publications), it concluded in the final merits determination that the evidence in its totality did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that he was among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
