Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a Daytime Emmy award won by a program he worked on was a major, internationally recognized award granted to him personally. The AAO also found that a Daytime Emmy is a national, not international, award. Furthermore, the petitioner did not meet other criteria, such as lesser awards or membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements, because he was not the named recipient of the awards submitted and did not prove the membership requirements were selective.
