Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner did not establish that the standard criteria were inapplicable to his occupation, thus rejecting the use of 'comparable evidence.' The evidence submitted for the 'membership' criterion was also found insufficient, as it did not prove the associations required outstanding achievements as judged by experts for admission.
