Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the initial evidentiary requirement of meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director found the petitioner met one criterion (judging), and the AAO determined he met one additional criterion (leading or critical role). As the petitioner only established eligibility for two criteria, he did not meet the minimum threshold for further consideration.
