Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim in the final merits determination. The AAO found that most of the petitioner's scholarly production and acclaim occurred several years before the petition was filed and was not sustained over time. The evidence, including support letters from immediate colleagues and limited media coverage, was deemed insufficient to prove the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field.
