Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the beneficiary's work on award-winning films did not satisfy the 'prizes or awards' criterion, as the plain language of the regulation requires the individual's personal receipt of an award, not just their contribution to a project that received one.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
