Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of providing evidence for at least three regulatory criteria. The evidence submitted for the 'awards' criterion was only a nomination, not the receipt of an award, which does not meet the regulation's plain language. The evidence for 'membership in associations' was also found to be insufficient.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement
