Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only satisfied one criterion (judging the work of others) and found the evidence submitted for other criteria, such as awards and memberships, was insufficient. For example, being a finalist for an award was not equivalent to receiving one, and there was no proof his memberships required outstanding achievements.
