Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the initial threshold of three criteria, the evidence in its totality did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that his peer review activities and scholarly publications were not sufficiently distinguished to prove he had risen to the very top of his field, as required by the final merits determination.
