Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she met at least three of the required regulatory criteria. The director found the evidence for awards insufficient, as they were primarily student awards from over a decade prior. Additionally, the published materials were not primarily about the petitioner or from major media, and claimed memberships were determined to be employment rather than membership in qualifying associations.
