Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the claimed criteria. Specifically, for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, the evidence showed that the awards were granted to the petitioner's design firm, not to him as an individual. Additionally, the petitioner did not provide sufficient objective evidence to prove that the awards themselves were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in his field.
