Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria for the classification. The Director had accepted two criteria (published material and leading/critical role), but the AAO determined the petitioner did not meet the membership criterion, as the evidence failed to show the associations required outstanding achievements for membership. Since the petitioner only met two criteria, he did not establish eligibility.
