Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the petitioner's awards lacked sufficient context to demonstrate they were for excellence, noting the record did not establish the number of competitors. The petitioner also failed to show that their memberships were in associations that require outstanding achievements from their members.
