Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. The Director initially found one criterion met, but upon review, the AAO concluded the petitioner did not meet any. Specifically, the evidence for awards lacked proof of national or international recognition, with the AAO noting that a national or international pool of competitors does not equate to recognized excellence.
