Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required. The Director acknowledged the petitioner met the judging criterion, but the AAO found the evidence for a lesser nationally or internationally recognized award was insufficient to establish the award's significance. The AAO also concluded that the submitted letters of support did not demonstrate that the petitioner's work constituted original contributions of major significance to the field.
