Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concluded that the evidence was insufficient for the criteria of membership in qualifying associations, original contributions of major significance, and employment in a critical capacity. Although the beneficiary met the high salary criterion, this was not enough to warrant approval.
