Decision Summary
The director initially found 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, including editing numerous research reports. The AAO determined this new evidence was sufficient to meet a second regulatory criterion, thus qualifying the beneficiary as an outstanding researcher.
