Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum evidentiary threshold of three criteria. The AAO reviewed the evidence and concluded the petitioner only satisfied two criteria (judging and scholarly articles), disagreeing with the Director's initial assessment. The AAO specifically found that the petitioner's awards were not nationally or internationally recognized for excellence but were limited to a local university network or were student awards.
