Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The evidence provided for his coaching award was insufficient to prove it was a nationally or internationally recognized award. Additionally, the submitted articles were determined to be about youth soccer in the United States rather than about the petitioner himself, and he failed to establish the publications qualified as major media.
