Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a tennis athlete and coach, failed to demonstrate that they met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that while the petitioner was part of an award-winning team, the national or international significance of the awards was not established. Additionally, the petitioner's memberships did not require outstanding achievements as judged by experts, and awards won by athletes he coached could not be considered his own.
