Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO concluded the evidence provided for a fellowship did not prove it was a nationally or internationally recognized award, and memberships did not require outstanding achievements for admission. Additionally, published material submitted was about the petitioner's project, not primarily about the petitioner himself, thus failing to meet that criterion.
