Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that they met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that a student entrepreneurial award was not a nationally or internationally recognized award for excellence in the field, as it was a student competition limited to one institution. Awards received after the petition's filing date were not considered, as eligibility must be established at the time of filing.
