Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria for the classification. The AAO concurred with the Director that the beneficiary only satisfied the criterion for judging the work of others. Evidence for other claimed criteria, such as awards and membership, was found insufficient as the awards belonged to the beneficiary's team rather than the beneficiary directly, and proof of stringent membership requirements for associations was lacking.
