Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility at the time of filing. The AAO found that the most persuasive evidence was submitted on appeal and postdated the filing of the petition, and therefore could not be considered. The petitioner did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with influence on the field as a whole at the time the petition was filed.
