Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility by meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The evidence provided for the 'awards' criterion was found to be insufficient, as letters supporting the national recognition of the awards were inconsistent, nearly identical, and their probative value was undermined. The petitioner did not resolve these discrepancies with objective evidence.
