Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director found only one criterion was met, and while the AAO found a second criterion was also satisfied (high remuneration), the petitioner still fell short of the threshold. The 'prizes or awards' criterion was not met because the evidence showed awards were granted to the video game projects as a whole, not specifically to the beneficiary as an individual recipient.
