Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the requisite three evidentiary criteria. The AAO upheld the Director's finding that only one criterion (high salary) was met, and rejected evidence for the 'membership' criterion because it was obtained after the petition was filed. The petitioner did not contest the denial of other criteria on appeal.
Criteria Discussed
