Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient objective evidence to support the claims made by counsel. The AAO found that assertions regarding the petitioner's publications, citations, reputation, and research funding were unsupported by documentation, and that counsel's statements alone do not constitute evidence.
