Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria for the classification. The AAO determined that awards won by the petitioner's students did not qualify, and evidence of his own awards was insufficient and poorly documented. Furthermore, the evidence did not establish that his membership in a dance association was based on outstanding achievements as judged by recognized experts.
