Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director initially found the petitioner met two criteria, but the AAO withdrew one of those positive findings (judging). As the petitioner only contested one of the denied criteria on appeal, they could not meet the minimum evidentiary threshold.
