Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The decision noted that at the time of filing, the petitioner held a postdoctoral appointment, which is considered an inherently entry-level position, undermining the claim of having risen to the very top of the field.
