Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO disagreed with the Director's conclusion that the petitioner met none of the regulatory criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner did establish eligibility under the 'lesser prizes or awards' criterion based on a medal from Kazakhstan, contrary to the Director's finding. As the AAO found the petitioner met the requisite number of criteria, the case was remanded for a new decision and final merits determination.
