Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the initial approval was revoked and the petitioner failed to establish eligibility upon de novo review. The AAO found the petitioner did not meet at least three of the required evidentiary criteria, concluding that his membership in an association was not based on outstanding achievements and his work as a visiting faculty member did not qualify as judging the work of others.
