Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was granted, but the prior decision to dismiss the appeal was affirmed. The AAO found that the petitioner, a postdoctoral fellow, failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim, concluding he met only two of the required three criteria. The evidence for original contributions of major significance and playing a leading or critical role was deemed insufficient, and his overall accomplishments did not place him at the very top of his field.
