The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the beneficiary only met two criteria (judging the work of others and employment in a critical capacity), concluding the evidence for membership in associations and original contributions of major significance was insufficient.
