Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner's film festival award for 'Best Original Song' was not shown to be a nationally or internationally recognized prize. Furthermore, composing music for films on Netflix did not satisfy the 'display' criterion, as the AAO concluded the plain meaning of 'display' involves visual exhibition, and music is heard rather than seen.
