Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO found the evidence for published materials was insufficient as the petitioner did not establish the online publication was 'major media'. Similarly, the evidence for authorship of scholarly articles was rejected because the articles were not proven to be scholarly or published in major media, and one did not even identify the petitioner as the author.
