Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. Although he satisfied the criterion for lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards, he did not establish that his memberships required outstanding achievements. Furthermore, the submitted published materials were found deficient due to improper translations, not being primarily about the petitioner, or failing to demonstrate they were from major media outlets.
