Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the requisite number of criteria. The AAO found that the evidence submitted for the 'awards' criterion was insufficient, determining one award was local rather than national or international, and was not established to be for excellence in the petitioner's field. The petitioner abandoned the appeal on other criteria initially denied by the director.
