Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for the 'published material about the alien' criterion. The AAO determined that citations of the petitioner's work do not meet the plain language of the regulation, as the citing articles are not 'about the petitioner' but rather about the citing authors' own work. As the petitioner only met two other criteria, they did not meet the minimum of three required for this visa classification.
