Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner met only two of the required three evidentiary criteria. On appeal, the AAO found the petitioner did meet a third criterion, 'receipt of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards,' based on two honorable mention citations at the International Photography Awards. Because the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three criteria, the case was remanded for the Director to conduct a final merits determination of the evidence as a whole.
