Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a violist and mandolinist, failed to submit sufficient qualifying evidence to meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO determined the documentation did not demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field or had sustained national or international acclaim.
