Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under at least three of the required regulatory criteria. While the AAO found the petitioner met the criteria for a leading or critical role and high remuneration, it concluded that his restaurant's inclusion in publications like the Michelin Guide did not constitute a prize, award, or membership in a qualifying association.
