Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a mixed martial arts fighter, failed to establish that she met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. While the Director found she met the criterion for lesser awards, the AAO agreed that she did not meet the membership criterion because the evidence did not prove the associations required outstanding achievements of their members.
Criteria Discussed
