membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The organization's bylaws require only a 'noteworthy' achievement, which is not equivalent to the 'outstanding' achievement required by the regulation. The petitioner also provided no evidence that admittance is judged by recognized national or international experts. Furthermore, membership in a single association with nearly 60,000 members cannot satisfy the plural requirement of the criterion.
