Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that they met the minimum evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director found the petitioner only met one criterion (leading or critical role). On appeal, the petitioner failed to prove eligibility under additional criteria, such as 'published material about the individual,' because the submitted articles did not mention him or his work.
