Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found the petitioner met the 'display' criterion. On appeal, the AAO agreed the petitioner also met the 'published material' criterion, but found the evidence for nationally recognized awards and original contributions of major significance did not meet the regulatory standards.
