Decision Summary

The director initially denied the petition, finding that the beneficiary only met the criterion for authorship of scholarly articles. On appeal, the petitioner submitted additional evidence demonstrating the beneficiary's participation as a judge of the work of others, specifically by editing numerous research reports for an advanced research institute and the Bombay Natural History Society. The AAO found this new evidence sufficient to meet a second regulatory criterion, leading to the appeal being sustained and the petition approved.
