Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three criteria (judging, leading or critical role, and high salary), the AAO determined in its final merits review that the overall evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for awards and published material was found to be more about the petitioner's employer than about him personally, and therefore did not establish that he had risen to the very top of his field.
