Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While credited for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles, the petitioner did not successfully demonstrate that his membership in professional associations required outstanding achievements as judged by experts. The AAO determined that the petitioner's board certifications alone were sufficient for his membership, and that board certification itself is not considered an outstanding achievement for the purposes of this criterion.
