Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary met the minimum evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the submitted awards were not proven to be nationally or internationally significant, the evidence of membership in a qualifying association was insufficient and inconsistent, and the claim of judging others was not substantiated beyond regular job duties.
