Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner met a third evidentiary criterion, 'leading or critical role', in addition to the two previously acknowledged by the Director. Upon final merits determination, the AAO found the totality of the evidence, including his peer review activities, patented contributions, presentations at international conferences, and critical role for a distinguished organization, was sufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim and that he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
