Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner satisfied the minimum requirement of three evidentiary criteria, the evidence in totality did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's awards were considered indicative of future potential or were from many years ago, rather than proof of having risen to the very top of the field.
