Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only met the criterion for judging the work of others. The evidence for lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards was found insufficient, as it did not demonstrate the awards had the required level of recognition in the literary field beyond the awarding organizations themselves.
