Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found that the submitted research grants were for funding future research, not awards for past excellence. Furthermore, the petitioner's memberships did not require outstanding achievements, and his limited peer-review activities were deemed routine for the field.
