Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the required regulatory criteria. The AAO found the evidence for a 1986 award was too dated to demonstrate sustained acclaim and its significance was not proven. Furthermore, a professional license was deemed insufficient for the membership criterion, published material was also from 1986 and not primarily about the petitioner, and claims of original contributions were not adequately substantiated.
