Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the submitted awards lacked the necessary context to establish they were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. Furthermore, the petitioner's employment with a dance troupe was not considered membership in an association requiring outstanding achievements.
