Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the 'awards' criterion, the AAO found the evidence insufficient to establish eligibility for the criteria of 'memberships,' 'published material,' or 'judging.' The petitioner did not prove he was actually a member of a qualifying association, the articles submitted were not primarily about him, and his role as a 'referee' did not satisfy the 'judging' criterion.
