Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for the classification. The director found the petitioner met only one criterion (judging), and the AAO agreed, concluding the evidence submitted on appeal was insufficient to meet additional criteria such as nationally/internationally recognized awards, membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement, or a leading/critical role.
