Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the regulatory criteria. The evidence submitted for membership in associations, such as taekwondo black belt certificates, did not demonstrate actual membership or that the associations require outstanding achievements as judged by experts. The petitioner did not contest the director's adverse findings regarding the 'published material' criterion.
