Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that they met the requisite three evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO found that the petitioner did meet the criteria for lesser nationally recognized awards and for judging the work of others, it concluded that the evidence was insufficient to establish eligibility under the membership in associations criterion or any others. As the petitioner only met two of the required three criteria, the petition was ultimately denied.
