Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a musician, failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum of three required regulatory criteria. The Director and the AAO agreed that the petitioner only met one criterion (display of work). The AAO found the evidence submitted for lesser awards and memberships was insufficient to establish that the award had national/international recognition or that the associations required outstanding achievement for membership.
