Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three regulatory criteria. The Director initially found three criteria met, but upon review, the AAO determined the petitioner only satisfied two (judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles) and withdrew the finding on the 'leading or critical role' criterion. As the petitioner did not meet the minimum threshold, the appeal was dismissed without a final merits determination.
