Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the evidence for the 'memberships' criterion was insufficient, as the association's requirements did not demonstrate a standard of outstanding achievement judged by experts. The petitioner was ultimately found to have not met the minimum threshold for further consideration.
