Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria to prove sustained national or international acclaim. While the high salary criterion was met, the AAO found the evidence for membership in qualifying associations, original contributions of major significance, and employment in a critical capacity to be insufficient. The testimonials were from close colleagues and did not establish the beneficiary's broader impact or indispensability in the field.
