Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to satisfy at least three of the required criteria. The AAO found the evidence for the 'lead or starring role' criterion did not prove the beneficiary's roles were prominent or that the productions had a distinguished reputation. For the 'national or international recognition' criterion, the petitioner failed to submit the required critical reviews or published materials from major media.
