Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his awards were nationally or internationally recognized. The AAO determined that including the word 'national' in an award's title is insufficient without supporting evidence about the scope of the competition, the caliber of participants, or the selection process.
