Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three regulatory criteria required for this visa classification. Although the director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging and performing in a leading or critical role, the AAO concluded that a claimed award was merely internal company recognition, not a nationally or internationally recognized prize. The petitioner also abandoned the membership criterion on appeal, thus failing to meet the evidentiary threshold for a final merits determination.
