Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met two criteria, but the petitioner failed on appeal to establish eligibility for the contested criteria of 'published material' and 'leading or critical roles'. Specifically, the AAO found that the submitted articles were not substantially about the petitioner, but rather were reviews of performances in which he was mentioned only briefly.
