Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director found three criteria were met, the AAO disagreed, concluding that the evidence only supported two criteria (judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles) and failed to establish that the beneficiary commanded a high salary in relation to others in his specific field.
