Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. While the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the criteria for nationally recognized awards and membership in distinguished associations, the AAO determined she failed to prove that articles about her were published in 'major media' or that articles in trade publications were sufficiently 'about' her to meet that criterion.
