Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the claimed criteria. A Genie Award nomination was not equivalent to receiving an award and occurred after the petition's filing date. The petitioner's membership in ACTRA did not require outstanding achievements, and the submitted published materials were not shown to be from major media or were too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim.
