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.
