Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the requisite three evidentiary criteria for the classification. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's national award was for an innovative idea, not for excellence in the field as required. The decision also analyzed the petitioner's membership in an association but found the evidence did not establish that the organization requires outstanding achievements of its members.
