Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria (judging, leading or critical role, and high salary), the AAO determined in the final merits analysis that the evidence was not sufficient. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that his achievements reflected sustained national or international acclaim or that he had risen to the very top of his field, as required for this highly restrictive classification.
