Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only met the criterion for authorship of scholarly articles. The petitioner's evidence for lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards was found to be uncorroborated, local in nature, and did not demonstrate recognition for excellence in her field.
