Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the plain language requirements for the criteria claimed. The AAO determined that his professional engineering licenses were not nationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence, and his membership in an association did not require outstanding achievements of its members. Additionally, the published material submitted was not about the petitioner's work but rather a student project where he was only peripherally mentioned.
