Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO concluded the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. Although the Director initially found that three criteria were met, the AAO, upon de novo review, determined the evidence for the 'awards' criterion was insufficient to demonstrate the national or international recognition of the prizes.
