Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the Petitioner met a third evidentiary criterion, for published material about his work in professional journals, which the Director had initially denied. Having met the threshold of three criteria, the AAO conducted a final merits determination and found that the totality of the evidence, including securing over $3.6 million in research funding and his influential roles, demonstrated sustained national acclaim.
