Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO withdrew the Director's finding on the awards criterion, concluding the petitioner did not demonstrate that her American Movie Award was a nationally or internationally recognized award for excellence. The petitioner's other evidence, such as a film being selected for a festival, was also deemed insufficient to meet the awards criterion.
