Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they met the required three out of ten criteria. The AAO specifically found that the petitioner did not establish that their membership in the Actors' Equity Association (AEA) met the standard for membership in an association that requires outstanding achievements of its members as judged by national or international experts. Since the petitioner only met one criterion, they were ineligible for the classification.
