Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. While the Director credited the petitioner with meeting two criteria (judging and scholarly articles), the AAO found on appeal that the petitioner did not meet additional claimed criteria, such as memberships. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's fellowship and board certification did not require 'outstanding achievements' as judged by experts, but were rather based on meeting standard professional requirements.
