Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's eligibility for the classification. The AAO found the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was insufficient, noting that the competitions conferred a substantial number of awards and there was no evidence the awards were recognized at a national or international level for excellence. Consequently, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary is one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field.
