Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary met the minimum of two required criteria for an outstanding researcher. The AAO determined that a certificate for an apprentice program did not qualify as a major prize or award, and membership in the cited professional associations was open to any interested individual, not exclusively those with outstanding achievements. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary met the mandatory three-year research experience requirement.
