Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the initial evidence requirement of meeting at least three regulatory criteria. While the AAO concluded the petitioner met the criterion for lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards, they determined he did not meet the membership criterion. The petitioner did not establish that membership in the claimed association required outstanding achievements, as its bylaws only required an application statement from athletes.
