Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met at least three of the ten required criteria. The AAO found that the evidence for the 'awards' criterion was insufficient, as the petitioner did not demonstrate that the specific awards received (e.g., 'Silver', 'Bronze', 'Finalist') were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence, as opposed to simply being from a recognized competition.
