Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim in the final merits determination. Although three criteria were met, the AAO determined that co-authoring articles and peer-reviewing are routine activities for research scientists. Furthermore, the petitioner did not specify his individual contributions within large collaborative projects or provide appropriate comparisons for his citation record to establish he was at the very top of his field.
