Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate she met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the evidence for her awards did not establish they were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. Additionally, the submitted articles were found to be about the petitioner's book, not about the petitioner herself, and therefore did not meet the 'published material' criterion.
