Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the minimum three required evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO agreed that the petitioner met the criterion for lesser awards, it found she did not meet the membership criterion because the regulation requires 'membership in associations' (plural), and the petitioner only provided evidence of membership in a single team.
