Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO conducted a de novo review and withdrew the Director's initial finding that the petitioner met the awards criterion, concluding the evidence did not establish the national or international significance of the awards. The AAO also found the petitioner did not meet the membership criterion, as the evidence failed to show that membership required outstanding achievements.
