Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence for membership in associations was insufficient as it did not demonstrate that these associations require outstanding achievements of their members. Additionally, evidence of participation on a panel did not prove the beneficiary served as a judge of the work of others.
