Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of the field. The AAO found the evidence submitted did not meet the regulatory criteria, noting that the petitioner's membership in the American Physical Society did not prove a requirement of outstanding achievement for its members. Furthermore, media features were determined to be local in nature and not indicative of national or international acclaim based on the significance of the petitioner's research.
