Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the claimed criteria. The submitted award was given to the petitioner's company, not directly to the beneficiary, which does not meet the plain language of the regulation. Additionally, membership in the American Society of Perfumers was determined to be based on years of experience and sponsorship, rather than on outstanding achievements as judged by national or international experts.
