Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting four initial evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim in the final merits determination. The AAO found that the evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate the prestige of the exhibitions or the impact of the publications featuring the petitioner's work, thus failing to prove he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
