Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition because the petitioner met only two of the required three evidentiary criteria (judging and scholarly articles). On appeal, the AAO reviewed the petitioner's claims for additional criteria, including awards, but found the evidence did not demonstrate that the awards received were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. As the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
