Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles, the AAO determined that the research grants presented did not qualify as nationally or internationally recognized awards for excellence, as they were designed to fund future research rather than recognize past achievements.
