Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not prove that his membership in the American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE) requires outstanding achievements as judged by recognized national or international experts. Since the petitioner only met two criteria and failed to establish eligibility for any others on appeal, the petition was ultimately denied.
