Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required threshold of at least three evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found the petitioner met two criteria, but the AAO's de novo review concluded the evidence was insufficient. Specifically, the evidence submitted for the 'published material' criterion was rejected because the articles and media appearances were not primarily about the petitioner or failed to establish that the outlets constituted 'major media' as required by regulation.
