Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the awards cited were for the petitioner's horses and riders, not the petitioner himself, and did not qualify as a major, internationally recognized award. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that his horses' registrations constituted his own membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements of their members.
