Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three initial evidentiary criteria (judging, scholarly articles, and original contributions), the AAO determined in its final merits review that the petitioner's achievements did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence, including two manuscript reviews and eight scholarly articles, was found insufficient to prove she had risen to the very top of her field as required for this highly restrictive classification.
