Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that they met the required criteria. The AAO determined that the petitioner's awards, a university Certificate of Achievement and a Best Paper Award from a former employer's sister company, were institutional recognition rather than nationally or internationally recognized prizes. Additionally, inclusion in a 'Who's Who' publication was not considered evidence of excellence but rather a directory listing.
