Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner had only satisfied two of the required three evidentiary criteria. The petitioner, a wedding photographer, successfully demonstrated judging the work of others and displaying his work, but failed to prove other claimed criteria. Specifically, the evidence for his awards was deemed insufficient to establish their national or international significance beyond the awarding organization itself.
