Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of satisfying at least three evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. While the AAO agreed that the petitioner met the 'awards' criterion, it found the evidence for the 'membership' criterion was insufficient because the requirements did not involve being judged for outstanding achievements by experts. Since the petitioner did not meet the requisite number of criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
