Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director and AAO agreed the petitioner met the criteria for judging and display of work, the petitioner's evidence for the 'awards' criterion was found insufficient. The petitioner did not prove the national or international significance of the awards, provide details on the number of competitors, or show that the competitions were open to all professionals in the field.
