Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the initial evidentiary requirement of meeting at least three criteria. The AAO concluded the petitioner only met the criterion for published materials. The AAO overturned the Director's favorable finding on the judging criterion and found the evidence for memberships insufficient as the petitioner did not establish the associations required outstanding achievements for membership.
