Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director and the AAO found she only met the criterion for authorship of scholarly articles. The evidence for receiving a lesser nationally recognized award was deemed insufficient because it did not include primary evidence from the issuing entity to identify the specific award or its granting criteria.
