Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO conducted a de novo review and disagreed with the Director's final merits determination. Although the Director acknowledged the petitioner met three evidentiary criteria, the AAO found that the quality of the evidence, including extensive peer review for numerous publications and a high citation record for his scholarly articles, demonstrated sustained national acclaim and established the petitioner as one of the small percentage at the top of his field.
