Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim, meeting only two of the required three regulatory criteria. The AAO found that the submitted media articles were not 'about' the petitioner and were too dated to show sustained acclaim. While acknowledging the petitioner's contributions and reviewing activities, the AAO concluded he had not proven he was among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
