Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the required minimum of three criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and authoring scholarly articles, but found the evidence for lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards and original contributions of major significance to be insufficient. Specifically, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his awards were recognized for excellence beyond the awarding institutions or that his research had a major impact on the field as a whole.
