Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the 'prizes or awards' criterion. The AAO found that the petitioner's research grants, academic scholarships, fellowships, and decade-old paper awards were not equivalent to prizes for excellence, were routine aspects of a research career, or were too dated to establish the required sustained national or international acclaim.
