Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that evidence for prizes lacked proof of national recognition, published articles were not sufficiently about the beneficiary or in major media, and the beneficiary's role was not proven to be more critical than that of other dancers in the company.
