Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's 'Best Worker' award and DAAD scholarship lacked sufficient evidence of national or international recognition for excellence to meet the awards criterion. Furthermore, the evidence for membership in a professional association did not establish that the association requires outstanding achievements of its members as judged by experts.
