Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director that while the beneficiary met the criteria for judging others' work and performing a leading or critical role, the evidence provided for lesser awards was not nationally recognized and the published material was authored by, not about, the beneficiary.
