Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his Suncoast Regional Emmy Award was a nationally or internationally recognized prize as required. The AAO determined the award was regional in scope, not national, and rejected the argument that the inclusion of Puerto Rico made it international. The petitioner also failed to provide sufficient documentation to support the award's significance or that he personally received it.
