Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the record did not establish that the petitioner met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence for membership in qualifying associations was insufficient, as it merely repeated regulatory language without providing bylaws or proof of membership requirements. Additionally, the submitted published material was not shown to be from major media, citing low circulation figures and niche publications.

Criteria Discussed

Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations That Require Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Media Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Original Contributions Of Major Significance Leading Or Critical Role For Distinguished Organizations Or Establishments
