Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of evidentiary criteria. While the AAO determined the petitioner satisfied the criterion for receipt of a nationally recognized award, it found the evidence for published materials was deficient due to incomplete translations. Additionally, the claims regarding original contributions of major significance and commanding a high salary were found to be unsubstantiated or based on an insufficiently narrow comparison group.
