Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility. The AAO found that the awards submitted did not qualify as major, internationally recognized awards, nor did the petitioner provide sufficient evidence to establish that his lesser prizes were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. Additionally, some evidence was disregarded due to improper translation certification.
