USA cycling mountain bike XC upgrade requirements?

Yah, I want to upgrade my USA cycling license from Category 2 mountain bike XC to category 1, but I have no clue what the requirements are. The USA cycling website was pretty unhelpful. I applied for an upgrade but I was (not surprisingly) rejected, probably because I failed to provide enough information. Anyways, could anyone shed some light on this subject?

The rule is:
1D. Rider Upgrading
1D1. General Information:
Rider upgrades are handled electronically through a rider’s USAC account. The request will be sent to the person responsible for the area and/or category. Please follow the instructions online and provide the information about your race experience and placings. The information you provide must include the race date, name, type of event, category, number of participants, and placing. If the administrator approves the upgrade, your account will be changed so that when you request a new license, the category will be changed.

The key to this is what you entered for "information about your race experience and placings". If you have good results with constant high finishes you are likely to get the upgrade. However if you only race in a local series and only in a few of those don't expect an upgrade.
