Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting the minimum evidentiary requirements, the totality of the evidence did not establish that the beneficiary was internationally recognized as outstanding. The AAO found his peer review activities for journals and conferences, while showing expertise, did not demonstrate recognition that stands apart from others in the field. The citation evidence and publication metrics were also found insufficient to prove his work was recognized as outstanding.
