AAO 为什么未被说服
Although AAO disagreed with the Director's rationale that no festival awards can qualify, AAO concluded the Petitioner still failed because the awards identified were given to directors or the productions themselves, not to the Petitioner personally as director of photography. His contributions to award-winning or nominated projects do not constitute his receipt of nationally or internationally recognized prizes.

AAO found that while the Petitioner had published research and received citations, he had not demonstrated that his work constitutes a record of success or has served as an impetus for progress in the field.
