Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only satisfied two criteria (judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles). The petitioner's evidence for awards was deemed insufficient to prove national recognition for excellence, and his original contributions were not shown to be of major significance in the field.
