Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to meet at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The evidence for the beneficiary's award failed to demonstrate it was nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in the field. The submitted articles under the 'published material' criterion were deficient due to incomplete translations and missing author or translator certification, making it impossible to determine if they were about the beneficiary's work.
