The appeal was dismissed because the AAO concluded the petitioner failed to satisfy the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that participation on Grammy-nominated albums was not a personal award to the petitioner, other submitted awards were local or unsubstantiated, and endorsement contracts and membership in LARAS did not qualify as memberships in associations requiring outstanding achievements.
