Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. While the Director found three criteria met, the AAO disagreed, concluding the petitioner had not established he performed in a 'leading or critical role' or held qualifying 'memberships in associations'. This left the petitioner with only two satisfied criteria, which was insufficient to prove sustained national or international acclaim.
