Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director had initially found the petitioner only met two criteria. On appeal, the evidence submitted for additional criteria, such as membership in associations, was found to be insufficient, unsupported by objective evidence like bylaws, and compromised by incomplete or uncertified translations of foreign language documents.
