Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of evidentiary criteria. Although the petitioner satisfied the 'awards' criterion with medals from Sambo competitions, she did not establish eligibility under other criteria. The evidence for published materials lacked complete translations and proof of major media circulation, while the evidence for judging only showed she was qualified to be a judge, not that she had actually participated in judging others at a high level.
