Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition for failing to establish that the petitioner met at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria for this classification. The appeal was dismissed because upon de novo review, the AAO concurred, finding the petitioner did not provide sufficient objective evidence to meet the claimed criteria, such as demonstrating that his membership on a powerlifting team required outstanding achievements as judged by recognized experts.
