Decision Summary

The Director initially found the beneficiary met three criteria but failed the final merits test. The AAO, upon de novo review, disagreed and concluded the beneficiary did not meet the initial three-criteria threshold, noting that evidence for awards was insufficient because one award went to the petitioning company, not the individual, and the significance of other awards was not established. Consequently, the AAO dismissed the appeal, affirming the denial.
