Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum requirement of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's memberships did not require outstanding achievements for admission. Furthermore, the AAO disagreed with the Director's initial finding on the judging criterion, concluding that serving as a thesis or faculty advisor did not meet the plain language requirement of formally acting as a judge.
