Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three criteria. The AAO concurred with the director's finding that the petitioner's memberships and the published citations did not meet the regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the AAO withdrew the director's initial finding that the petitioner met the judging criterion, arguing that peer review is a routine part of the field and not necessarily indicative of sustained acclaim.
