Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirements for the classification. The AAO found that her membership in a professional association (ABRAFESTA) did not require outstanding achievements of its members. Additionally, her role in voting to approve new members for the association was not sufficient to meet the criterion for judging the work of others in the field.
