Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director had found only one criterion was met, and on appeal, the petitioner's evidence was insufficient to satisfy two additional criteria. Specifically, the evidence did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would perform in a lead role for productions with a distinguished reputation or for organizations with a distinguished reputation.
