Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. While the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the criterion for displaying his work, the AAO found the evidence submitted for other criteria, such as lesser nationally recognized awards, was insufficient. The AAO determined the awards, like an honorable mention in an online showcase limited to members, were not proven to be nationally significant awards for excellence.
