Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the AAO determined that he satisfied the membership criterion by being on the Polish national Olympic team, it found the evidence for the awards and published material criteria was insufficient. The awards were not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence, and the media articles were not from major media or lacked required information.
