Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of satisfying at least three evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found two criteria met, but the AAO determined upon review that the petitioner did not meet the plain language requirements for the 'published material' or 'awards' criteria. The evidence did not establish that the petitioner's awards were nationally or internationally recognized, nor that the publications qualified as major media.
