Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the AAO found the petitioner satisfied the criterion for prizes or awards based on coaching an athlete to victory, he did not demonstrate that his memberships in skating unions required outstanding achievement of their members. The petitioner ultimately failed to prove he had earned the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification.
