Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the evidentiary criteria. For the membership criterion, the AAO found that joining the IFBB Pro League was based on competition rankings, not on having outstanding achievements judged by experts. For the published material criterion, the evidence provided was mostly event coverage rather than material specifically about the petitioner, and she failed to establish that the publications qualified as major media.
