Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. The AAO determined the petitioner only met the criterion for nationally recognized awards, and found the evidence insufficient for the criteria of judging, membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement, and published material in major media.
