Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the petitioner's award did not qualify as a major, internationally recognized 'one-time achievement'. Furthermore, the evidence submitted for the 'published material' criterion, which consisted of video clips and promotional material for a software application, was found not to meet the regulatory requirement for published material about the petitioner.
