Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO found the petitioner satisfied the criteria for lesser awards and membership in associations, the evidence for other claimed criteria, such as published materials, was deficient. The petitioner did not successfully establish a third criterion, and therefore could not demonstrate extraordinary ability through sustained acclaim.
