Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found only one criterion was met, and on appeal, the petitioner did not successfully argue for additional criteria. The AAO specifically determined that the petitioner's awards lacked evidence of national or international significance, noting that many were granted and the petitioner's was not at the highest level of distinction.
