Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the requisite number of regulatory criteria. The AAO determined that a calendar announcement in the New York Times did not qualify as published material 'about the alien' and considered the 'membership in associations' criterion to have been abandoned. As a result, the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for this classification.
