Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the Director initially found the petitioner met three criteria, the AAO's de novo review concluded the petitioner only satisfied two: judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles. The AAO determined the petitioner's awards were not for excellence in the field or lacked national recognition, and his memberships did not require 'outstanding achievements' of their members.
