Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's UNESCO award did not qualify as a nationally or internationally recognized prize for excellence, noting its purpose appeared to be promotional and a high percentage of applicants received it. As the petitioner did not satisfy the initial evidentiary threshold, the appeal was dismissed.
