Decision Summary
The Director initially found the petitioner met only one criterion (judging). On appeal, the AAO determined the petitioner also met the awards criterion, but failed to establish eligibility for the membership criterion or any others, bringing the total to two. The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not satisfy the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria to demonstrate extraordinary ability.
