Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met two criteria, but the AAO determined on appeal that the evidence submitted for the 'awards' criterion was insufficient and contained inconsistencies. Since the petitioner could not meet the threshold of three criteria, the appeal failed.
