Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three regulatory criteria. The AAO disagreed with the Director's finding on the awards criterion, concluding there was insufficient proof of the awards' national or international recognition.
