Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for this classification. While the petitioner met the criteria for awards and published material, the AAO found she did not prove her membership on a national team met the standard of an association requiring outstanding achievements as judged by recognized experts, leaving her short of the threshold for a final merits determination.
