What was missing

- Judging · Membership in judging organization not based on outstanding achievement; evaluations do not indicate national or international acclaim
- Membership · Membership requirements based on employment, education, test scores, or dues do not constitute outstanding achievement
- Published material · Petitioner failed to submit certified translations required by regulation
- Final merits · Evidence in aggregate does not distinguish petitioner as one of small percentage at very top of field
