Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found two criteria were met, but the AAO determined the petitioner did not satisfy the 'membership' criterion on appeal. The evidence for this criterion was insufficient due to major inconsistencies regarding the association's name and the petitioner's membership dates, and the submitted letters merely repeated regulatory language without detailing specific outstanding achievements.
