Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner only met one criterion (authorship of scholarly articles) and disagreed with the Director that the judging criterion was met. Evidence for published material was also found insufficient because it relied on Wikipedia for circulation figures and lacked author information.
