Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO concluded that the petitioner demonstrated eligibility in the final merits determination. While the Service Center Director agreed the petitioner met three initial criteria, they denied the case on final merits. The AAO found that the petitioner's 11 patents utilized by companies, her consistent peer-review work for highly-rated journals, and numerous published articles, when viewed in totality, established that she has sustained acclaim and risen to the very top of her field.
