Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the minimum three regulatory criteria. Although the director initially found the petitioner met two criteria, the AAO reviewed the evidence and withdrew the finding for the 'published material' criterion. As the petitioner did not successfully argue for any other criteria on appeal, they failed to meet the threshold for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability.
