Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was deficient. The AAO found that submitted certificates did not bear the petitioner's name, translations of foreign diplomas were not properly certified as required, and there was no evidence demonstrating that the various competitions were nationally or internationally recognized.
