Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence did not establish that the beneficiary's upcoming performances were for productions or events with a distinguished reputation. Additionally, published materials about the beneficiary were not shown to be from major media, thus failing to prove national or international recognition.
