Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the minimum requirement of three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner met the criteria for judging and artistic displays, it found the evidence insufficient for the 'published materials' and 'leading or critical role' criteria. The petitioner did not establish that the websites featuring articles about his work qualified as major media, and did not sufficiently document the criticality of his roles in various organizations.
