Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument to submit 'comparable evidence' for the awards criterion, noting the petitioner acknowledged individual awards exist in the field. Furthermore, the evidence submitted for the company award did not establish its national or international recognition.
