Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate receipt of a major, internationally recognized award. The AAO found that the awards submitted were granted to the publications the petitioner worked for, not to the petitioner himself, and he failed to prove that the awards were primarily attributable to his work.
