Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the claimed evidentiary criteria. For the 'awards' criterion, the evidence of an app being 'featured' by Apple was insufficient, and other claimed awards lacked corroborating evidence from the awarding bodies. For the 'published material' criterion, the articles provided were about the beneficiary's work products and not about the beneficiary himself, as required by the regulation.
