Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. The awards submitted were not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence outside of the institution where he taught. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove that the articles and television appearance about him were in 'major media,' as he failed to provide sufficient evidence of the publications' circulation or the program's viewership.
