Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary requirements for the criteria claimed. The evidence for awards was deemed insufficient, relying on an uncertified partial translation, and research grants were not considered prizes for past achievement. The petitioner also failed to establish major significant contributions, as witness letters were not sufficiently independent and there was no evidence of citations to his publications to show impact.
