Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not satisfy the minimum requirement of meeting at least three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the petitioner only met one criterion (display of work at artistic exhibitions). The evidence for lesser awards was insufficient as the award was given to a company, not the petitioner directly. The published material did not qualify as it was either personal, in non-major media, or lacked required information like the author's name.
