Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required number of evidentiary criteria. Upon de novo review, the AAO found that the petitioner did not even meet the one criterion the Director had initially granted, concluding that the evidence failed to demonstrate the productions the beneficiary worked on had a distinguished reputation.
