Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the minimum three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that an award won by his band was not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized, his membership in an association did not require outstanding achievement, and published articles were primarily about the band, not him as an individual.
