Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three of the regulatory criteria. The evidence for authorship did not show publication in major media, and a Rabbinical Certificate was not considered a nationally or internationally recognized prize for excellence. As the petitioner did not meet the numerical threshold, the AAO found it unnecessary to analyze the remaining claimed criteria.
