Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that only one criterion (leading or critical role) was met. The evidence provided for membership in associations was found insufficient as it did not demonstrate that membership required outstanding achievements judged by experts.
