Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three regulatory criteria. The AAO determined that articles merely citing the petitioner's research did not qualify as published material 'about the alien'. Additionally, serving as a peer reviewer for scientific journals was deemed a routine activity within the field and not sufficient evidence of extraordinary ability.
