Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner did not meet the 'published material' criterion because most articles were not fully translated and the few that were did not focus on the petitioner. The petitioner also failed to establish having a 'leading or critical role' as the evidence was too general and did not prove the significance of his positions or the distinguished reputation of the organizations.
