Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director found the petitioner met two criteria, but the AAO concluded on appeal that the evidence for the 'membership' criterion was insufficient. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish that membership in the Brazilian Writer's Association requires outstanding achievements as judged by recognized experts.
