Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that academic fellowships and inclusion in a for-profit biographical volume did not qualify as nationally recognized prizes or awards. Additionally, articles that merely cited the petitioner's work were not considered published material 'about the alien,' thus failing to meet that criterion.
