Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO disagreed with the director's analysis. The AAO found that the director's determination that the petitioner's peer review work did not meet the judging criterion went beyond the plain language of the regulation. Similarly, the AAO found the director's conclusion on the authorship of scholarly articles criterion was flawed, leading the AAO to withdraw the director's findings and sustain the appeal.
