Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility by meeting at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the evidence submitted for the 'lesser awards' criterion was insufficient, finding that while the petitioner won numerous medals, the record did not establish that these specific awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in the field.
