Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met two criteria, but the AAO determined the evidence submitted on appeal for 'lesser awards' and 'published material' was insufficient. The award was not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized, and the submitted articles were found to be paid advertisements, from publications of limited reach, or lacked required certified translations.
