Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they met the minimum requirement of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's 'Senior Economist' title was not a nationally recognized award for excellence but rather a certification of qualifications. While the petitioner met the 'published material' criterion, the evidence was deemed insufficient to establish a 'leading or critical role', thus failing to reach the required threshold.
