Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three out of ten evidentiary criteria required. The Director had initially credited the petitioner with meeting two criteria (judging and scholarly articles), and the AAO agreed. However, the AAO found the evidence submitted for additional criteria, such as memberships and original contributions, was insufficient to meet the regulatory standards.
