Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under at least three of the ten required evidentiary criteria. While the Director found the petitioner met two criteria (judging others' work and holding a leading/critical role), the AAO determined that the evidence submitted for additional criteria, such as lesser awards, was insufficient. Specifically, the evidence for awards was contradictory and did not establish their national or international recognition.
