Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility in the final merits determination. The AAO found that the petitioner's achievements, such as internal company recognition, judging theses as a post-doctoral researcher, and memberships in professional organizations, did not prove he had risen to the very top of his field or achieved sustained national or international acclaim.
