Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the director found the petitioner met the 'awards' criterion, the AAO determined they did not meet the 'membership in associations' criterion. The AAO reasoned that the regulation requires membership in plural 'associations', and the petitioner only provided sufficient evidence for membership in a single qualifying national team.
