Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO found the petitioner did meet the criterion for lesser nationally recognized prizes or awards, it determined the evidence for published material was insufficient as the articles were not primarily about the petitioner or were promotional in nature. Consequently, the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the classification.
