Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted for lesser awards did not establish the petitioner's individual receipt or role, membership in the national team was based on skill rather than outstanding achievements, and the published articles were about his team, not about him individually.
