Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner satisfied the 'lesser awards' criterion, but found the evidence for the 'membership in associations' criterion to be insufficient. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that selection to youth bridge teams constituted an 'outstanding achievement' or that the selectors were recognized experts, and the argument for 'comparable evidence' was also rejected.
