Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met two criteria (judging and leading/critical role). On appeal, the AAO determined the petitioner did not satisfy the criterion for membership in associations because the evidence failed to show that membership required outstanding achievements as judged by recognized national or international experts.
