Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because even though the Beneficiary met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria, the evidence in totality did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the Beneficiary's achievements, such as judging speakers for his own employer's committee, were not sufficient to prove he had risen to the very top of his field as required by the highly restrictive classification.
