Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three initial evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim in the final merits determination. The AAO found that the petitioner's judging experience, publication record, and citation history were not sufficient to prove he was among the small percentage at the very top of his field, as required for this classification.
