Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum number of evidentiary criteria, the AAO conducted a final merits determination and concluded the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's single national award was from five years prior, and the overall evidence was not sufficient to prove he was among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
