Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director agreed the petitioner met the 'judging' criterion, the AAO found the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was insufficient. The petitioner failed to establish that the claimed awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in the field.
