Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a coffee shop entrepreneur, failed to demonstrate eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to show that his claimed awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence, and he failed to address the Director's specific findings for any of the five criteria he claimed on appeal.
