Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the threshold of establishing eligibility under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO withdrew the director's initial favorable findings on the 'awards' and 'published material' criteria, while affirming the 'judging' criterion. Consequently, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of the field.
