Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. Specifically, for the 'lead or starring role' criterion, the petitioner provided testimonial letters instead of the required evidence types, such as critical reviews, advertisements, or contracts. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's evidence satisfied the plain language of the regulations.
