Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria. Specifically for the 'published materials' criterion, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, such as circulation figures, to demonstrate that the publications featuring their work qualified as 'major media'. The AAO found the submitted information to be either from unreliable sources like Wikipedia, self-promotional, or indicative of only local, not national or international, circulation.
