Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because although the Beneficiary met the initial evidentiary requirements for at least two criteria (judging, research contributions, and authorship), the AAO concluded that the evidence in its totality did not demonstrate that the Beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding in his academic field. The AAO affirmed the validity of the two-step analysis, rejecting the petitioner's argument that meeting the regulatory criteria alone is sufficient for approval.
