Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director found the petitioner satisfied the criteria for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles, but the AAO concluded that the petitioner's awards were not nationally or internationally recognized, thus failing to meet the 'Lesser Awards' criterion and falling short of the required three.
