Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner only met two criteria (display and high remuneration). The evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient, as being a finalist does not constitute receipt of an award and another award was granted to the employer, not the petitioner directly.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations That Require Outstanding Achievements Display At Artistic Exhibitions Or Showcases Leading Or Critical Role High Remuneration For Services Commercial Success In The Performing Arts
