Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only met the 'judging' criterion, finding the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was insufficient to prove the award was nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. As the petitioner could not demonstrate eligibility under the required number of criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
