Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria for an O-1A visa. The AAO agreed with the Director that the evidence submitted for membership in associations was insufficient, as it did not establish that the organizations required outstanding achievements of their members as judged by recognized experts.
