Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet the claimed criteria. The AAO affirmed the director's findings that recommendation letters did not qualify as evidence for a lead/starring role, and it declined to consider a 'comparable evidence' argument that was not properly raised before the director.
