Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum evidentiary requirement of three criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner's songwriting prize did not qualify as a nationally recognized award for excellence, citing its focus on 'emerging' artists and a selection process based on public voting. The AAO also found the evidence insufficient to establish that the petitioner played a leading or critical role for distinguished organizations.
