Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO determined the petitioner's awards, including the Clio, One Show, and Webby awards, did not meet the high standard of a 'major, internationally recognized award' comparable to a Nobel Prize or Academy Award. The Director had found the petitioner only met one of the ten alternative criteria, and the AAO affirmed the denial, concluding the petitioner had not established eligibility by a preponderance of the evidence.
