Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the venture capital funding submitted as evidence for an 'award' was given to the petitioner's company, not to him individually, and was not established as a nationally recognized prize for excellence in his field. The petitioner's arguments for comparable evidence were also rejected as he did not demonstrate why the standard criteria were not applicable to his occupation.
