Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the requisite three evidentiary criteria for the classification. Although the AAO overturned the Director's finding on the 'awards' criterion, it affirmed the denial of the 'membership in associations' criterion due to a lack of evidence detailing the membership selection process and requirements for the teams the beneficiary joined.
Criteria Discussed
Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement
