Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they met the criteria for extraordinary ability. The provided 'Career Development Award' was found to be an institutional award limited to junior faculty and fellows in a training phase, rather than a nationally or internationally recognized prize for excellence demonstrating the petitioner had risen to the very top of their field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
