Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Director concluded the petitioner did not meet at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his inclusion in a photography book constituted membership in an association requiring outstanding achievements as judged by experts. The petitioner also did not establish that his employment or collaborations with other photographers satisfied the membership criterion.
