Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO determined that the petitioner's military medals satisfied the awards criterion, it found the evidence insufficient for the memberships and judging criteria, concluding that his roles were part of his job duties rather than memberships requiring outstanding achievements or judging roles based on recognized expertise.
