Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner satisfied the initial requirement of meeting at least three evidentiary criteria, he failed the final merits determination. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's achievements, which included academic scholarships and awards for young researchers, did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or prove that he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
