Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence provided for nationally recognized awards, membership in exclusive associations, published material about the beneficiary, and judging the work of others to be insufficient. Specifically, the award was not given to the beneficiary, membership was not proven, submitted articles were authored by (not about) the beneficiary, and claims of reviewing others' work were unsupported by documentary evidence.
