Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met three evidentiary criteria: judging, authorship, and performing a critical role. In the final merits determination, the AAO determined that the totality of the evidence, including numerous publications with high citation rates, patents, and leadership on significant, multi-million dollar research projects, was consistent with sustained acclaim and demonstrated the petitioner was at the top of his field.
