Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not satisfy the minimum evidentiary requirements. The AAO found that being featured on an app store, receiving venture capital, and admission into an accelerator program did not qualify as prizes or awards for excellence received by the petitioner. Additionally, an award he claimed to receive was not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in his field.
