Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner satisfied the 'leading or critical role' criterion and also found he met the 'awards' and 'membership' criteria, it disagreed that he met the 'judging' criterion, resulting in only two satisfied criteria overall.
