Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. While the AAO found he met the criterion for a nationally recognized award, it concluded he did not prove that his membership in an association required outstanding achievements or that his scholarly book represented a contribution of major significance to his field.
