Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the beneficiary meets the regulatory criteria for an outstanding researcher. The director found that the submitted award was a local employee award, not a major prize, and the evidence for memberships did not prove they required outstanding achievement. Furthermore, the petitioner did not provide evidence of published material about the beneficiary's work or his participation as a judge of others' work.
