Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. The AAO determined the evidence for the 'published material' criterion was deficient due to improper translations and failure to demonstrate the publications were major media. While the AAO did find the 'display of work at artistic showcases' criterion was met, it was insufficient to meet the overall threshold.
