Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the awards submitted were not nationally or internationally recognized, but rather from local organizations. Additionally, the decision noted that the petitioner's proposed activities of volunteer work and charitable donations do not constitute employment in a field of endeavor under the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics as required by the statute.
