Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director initially found three criteria were met, the AAO disagreed with the finding on the 'judging' criterion, concluding that serving as an umpire or referee did not equate to judging the work of others. As the petitioner only satisfied the awards and published material criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
