Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidence requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner met the 'scholarly articles' criterion but found the evidence for 'published material' was deficient. The submitted articles were about the petitioner's company rather than the petitioner himself, and the petitioner failed to prove the publications qualified as major media.
