Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met three evidentiary criteria: judging the work of others, making original contributions of major significance, and authoring scholarly articles. Upon a final merits review of the totality of the evidence, including his publications, editorial roles, and expert testimony on his groundbreaking work, the AAO concluded the petitioner demonstrated sustained national or international acclaim.
