Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found that the Director erred in denying the 'prizes or awards' criterion. The AAO concluded that the Petitioner did meet this criterion, in addition to two others previously acknowledged, thus satisfying the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria. The case was sent back to the Director for a final merits determination based on the totality of the evidence.
