Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The Director had initially credited her with meeting two criteria (judging and leading/critical role). On appeal, the AAO found the evidence submitted for the 'published material' criterion was deficient because the articles were primarily about her company, not her, and she did not prove the publications qualified as major media.
