Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the 'awards' criterion. The AAO determined that awards won by the petitioner's trainees could not be considered, as the regulation requires the awards be received by the petitioner himself. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to establish the national or international significance of his own awards and did not adequately justify the use of comparable evidence.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Comparable Evidence
