Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO concluded that the Petitioner's membership in the CFA Institute did not qualify as it did not require 'outstanding achievements' as judged by experts. Additionally, his work contributions, while valuable to his employer, were proprietary and not proven to be of major significance to the field as a whole.
