Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO acknowledged a past leading role in a distinguished production, the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that proposed future projects would also have a distinguished reputation. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to provide a required consultation from a peer group in the beneficiary's field.
