Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the high standard for extraordinary achievement in the motion picture and television industry. The director concluded, and the AAO affirmed, that the evidence did not demonstrate the beneficiary had been nominated for or received a significant award, nor did it satisfy at least three of the six alternative evidentiary criteria required by regulation.
