Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner did not meet the awards criterion, as his numerous competition finishes were not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. The AAO also disagreed with the Director's initial finding that the petitioner had met the judging criterion, leaving him short of the required threshold.
