Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director initially found the petitioner met two criteria, but upon review, the AAO withdrew the finding for the 'judging' criterion. The AAO further determined the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the 'membership in associations' criterion, leaving only one criterion (leading or critical role) satisfied.
