Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO withdrew the Director's finding on the awards criterion, determining the petitioner's awards were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in his specific field. The petitioner also failed to establish that his original contributions were of major significance, ultimately failing to meet the minimum three evidentiary criteria required for this classification.
