Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and displaying work at artistic showcases, the AAO determined the evidence for lesser awards was insufficient because the awards were granted to a dance team, not the petitioner individually, and their national or international significance was not proven.
