Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only met the criterion for authorship of scholarly articles. The petitioner's awards were deemed insufficient as they were student-level and did not demonstrate excellence in the field as a whole, and the evidence for memberships did not establish that they required outstanding achievements.
