Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility under the required minimum of three regulatory criteria. The director acknowledged that the petitioner met the judging and scholarly articles criteria but failed to meet the original contributions or awards criteria. On appeal, counsel did not substantively argue how the evidence met the required criteria, leading the AAO to conclude the issues were abandoned and dismiss the appeal.
