Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director found one criterion met (display at artistic exhibitions), the AAO determined the petitioner failed to meet others, such as the awards criterion, because the awards were granted to the films he worked on, not to him personally as the director of photography.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations That Require Outstanding Achievements Published Material In Professional Or Major Media Original Contributions Of Major Significance Display At Artistic Exhibitions Or Showcases Leading Or Critical Roles For Distinguished Organizations High Salary Or Other Significantly High Remuneration Commercial Success In The Performing Arts
