Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's membership in an association was based on holding a doctoral degree, not on outstanding achievements judged by experts. Although the Director initially found the petitioner met the judging and scholarly articles criteria, the AAO disagreed with the finding on the judging criterion, leaving the petitioner short of the required threshold.
