Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner met three of the required evidentiary criteria, including contributions of major significance, authorship of scholarly articles, and judging the work of others. While the Director had only accepted two criteria, the AAO also credited the petitioner's work as a peer reviewer and on an editorial board. After a final merits determination, the AAO concluded the petitioner had demonstrated the necessary sustained national or international acclaim.
