Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum three evidentiary criteria required. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner met the 'awards' criterion but found the evidence insufficient for the 'published material' and 'judging' criteria. The articles submitted were not primarily about the petitioner, and the letters supporting his judging role lacked specific details of the events where he served.
