Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner met the 'judging the work of others' criterion and also found she met the 'authorship of scholarly articles' criterion. However, the AAO concluded she did not prove she performed in a 'leading or critical role' for the college as a whole, as her influence was limited to her specific program.
