Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the petitioner's membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers did not require 'outstanding achievements'. Furthermore, the AAO disagreed with the Director's initial finding and concluded that the submitted articles were not proven to be from major media and appeared to be promotional material rather than objective coverage.
