Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the threshold of three required evidentiary criteria for an individual of extraordinary ability. The AAO agreed that the petitioner met the criteria for judging others' work and for showcasing his work, but found the submitted awards were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized. Furthermore, a self-written biography on IMDb was deemed insufficient to meet the criterion for published material in major media about the petitioner.
