Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO affirmed the Director's decision, finding that the submitted reference letters were insufficient to establish original contributions, a leading role, or a high salary. Furthermore, articles in a company newsletter were not considered published material in major media or scholarly articles.
