Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility by meeting the minimum three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's medals did not qualify as a major, one-time internationally recognized achievement comparable to a Nobel Prize or Olympic Medal. Additionally, the petitioner failed to prove that his membership on the Ukrainian national wrestling team required outstanding achievements as judged by recognized experts.
