Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility by meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The director found only two criteria were met, and the AAO analysis of the additional criteria claimed on appeal, such as membership in associations, found the evidence insufficient. The petitioner's service as a peer reviewer was considered under the 'judging' criterion, not 'membership', and thus did not satisfy the additional criterion needed.
