Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence, in the aggregate, did not establish that the beneficiary is one of the small percentage at the very top of his field. The AAO found that the beneficiary was a junior scientist with a limited publication record and manuscript reviews, and that the petitioner failed to prove that membership in various associations required outstanding achievement.
