The Petitioner failed to meet the required three criteria; specifically, the judging criterion was withdrawn because he judged internal employees rather than others in the same/allied field. The awards and memberships lacked evidence of national/international recognition or outstanding achievement requirements. The high salary claim was rejected due to a lack of proper comparative data for general managers in Turkey.
