Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO determined the petitioner met the criteria for lesser awards and membership, it agreed with the Director that the submitted articles were merely routine competition reports and did not qualify as published material 'about' the petitioner.
