Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO withdrew the director's initial favorable finding on the 'prizes or awards' criterion, determining that the submitted evidence, such as photographs of medals and trophies, was insufficient to prove the petitioner was the actual recipient and that certificates of participation were not awards for excellence.
