Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required criteria. The petitioner's 'Cross of the Armed Forces' award was not shown to be related to his field of endeavor, and for another award, 'Seafood Personality of the Year,' there was only evidence of a nomination, not receipt. Other forms of recognition were deemed insufficient to meet the criterion for nationally or internationally recognized awards.
