Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three criteria, the evidence was not persuasive enough to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the petitioner's accomplishments, such as judging and authoring articles, were routine for a postdoctoral researcher and did not indicate he had risen to the very top of his field, especially when compared to the more significant achievements of his references.
