Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three required criteria. Although the AAO found the petitioner did meet the criterion for a nationally recognized award, it determined the evidence was insufficient for other criteria, including published materials (due to incomplete translations), contributions of major significance (unsupported assertions), and high salary (comparison was too narrow).
