Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met only one criterion (leading or critical role), and the AAO agreed. The AAO found the petitioner's claimed award was received after the petition's filing date, the professional membership did not require outstanding achievements, and published articles were about his company rather than his own work.
