Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met the criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the submitted awards, including the NARSAD Young Investigator Award, the Thomas Baum Travel Award, and a university scholarship, were research grants, travel assistance, or academic awards, not nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence in his field.
