Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the required evidentiary criteria. For the 'lead or starring participant' criterion, the evidence of tattooing a celebrity lacked the required documentation like critical reviews, publicity, or contracts. The petitioner's argument to use 'comparable evidence' was rejected because they did not demonstrate why the standard criteria were inapplicable to the beneficiary's occupation.
