Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, upon de novo review, the AAO concluded the petitioner did not meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three criteria. Specifically, the AAO found the evidence for lesser awards was insufficient to establish they were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. The AAO also agreed with the Director that the judging criterion was not met.
