Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the evidence submitted, such as military awards and challenge coins, was insufficient to establish the petitioner's receipt of nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence in his field. The petitioner also waived the appeal on two other criteria (authorship and high remuneration), further weakening his case.
