Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director found the petitioner met the judging and artistic display criteria, the AAO determined the evidence was insufficient to establish a leading or critical role for a distinguished organization. The letters of support were inconsistent and did not prove the petitioner's role was of significant importance to the orchestra's success or that the orchestra itself had a distinguished reputation.
