Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the criterion for authorship of scholarly articles, the AAO found he did not meet the criterion for receipt of nationally or internationally recognized awards. The awards presented were given to the petitioner's company, not him personally, and were determined to be provincial in nature rather than nationally recognized accolades for excellence.
