Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary threshold of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. While the AAO determined the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and for authorship of scholarly articles, it found the evidence for her award was insufficient to prove it was nationally recognized. The petitioner ultimately did not establish eligibility under the required number of criteria.
