Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility through either a major, internationally-recognized award or by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted, specifically regarding published material, was insufficient because the media's major status was not proven and required document translations were not properly certified. The petitioner did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim required for this classification.
