Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the requisite number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, such as a 'Best Male Model' award from a local festival, did not demonstrate that the awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. As the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary threshold of satisfying at least three criteria, the petition was properly denied.
