Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility by meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the petitioner only satisfied the criterion for lesser nationally recognized awards as an athlete, not as a coach. The petitioner's claim of receiving a major, internationally recognized award was also rejected, as the Uzbekistan Republican Championship was deemed to be national, not international, in scope.
