Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the regulatory requirement of meeting at least three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the submitted published material did not meet the plain language of the regulation as it was not primarily 'about' the petitioner. The AAO also affirmed that eligibility must be established at the time of filing and declined to consider any evidence of achievements occurring after that date.
