Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only met one criterion (leading or critical role). The evidence for a nominated album was insufficient for the awards criterion, and membership in the symphony did not prove the association requires outstanding achievement from all its members.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations That Require Outstanding Achievements Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Display At Artistic Exhibitions Or Showcases Leading Or Critical Role For Distinguished Organizations Or Establishments
