Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the requisite number of evidentiary criteria. Specifically for the awards criterion, the evidence submitted indicated that the awards were given to companies that employed the beneficiary, not to the beneficiary himself. The AAO also found the documentation, such as press releases, to be insufficient proof of the beneficiary's receipt of the awards.
