Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because upon de novo review, the AAO concluded that the petitioner did not satisfy the requirements of at least three evidentiary criteria. For the awards criterion, the evidence of a 'Best Production' award was insufficient as it was awarded to a company, not the petitioner, and its national significance was not established. A government arts grant was also not considered a qualifying prize for excellence.
Criteria Discussed
