Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish 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 for publishing scholarly articles, the AAO agreed that the evidence was insufficient for the criteria of awards, memberships, original contributions, and holding a leading or critical role. The AAO also noted it would not consider new evidence submitted for the first time on appeal.
