Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of establishing eligibility under at least three of the evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found the petitioner met one criterion (published material), and on appeal the AAO also found the 'display of work' criterion was met. However, with only two criteria satisfied, the petitioner did not meet the threshold for further consideration.
