Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the requisite three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary performed as a lead or starring participant in productions or events with a distinguished reputation, as required by the regulations. The submitted flyers and articles failed to establish the distinguished reputation of the events or the beneficiary's specific leading role.
