Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria required for this visa category. Upon review, the AAO found that the beneficiary only met two criteria (judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles), disagreeing with the Director's initial assessment and finding the evidence for other claimed criteria, such as membership in associations, insufficient.
