Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under any of the evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's award was only recognized at a state level, not nationally or internationally. Furthermore, the submitted published materials were determined to be from an online blog, not a major media publication, or were not primarily about the petitioner's work.
