Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because, upon de novo review, the AAO determined that the petitioner's evidence demonstrated sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's substantial peer review activities, authorship of over eighty articles, and critical roles in distinguished institutions, such as leading organ procurement for a top-ranked transplant program, collectively established that he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
