Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The Director determined the petitioner met only one criterion (lesser awards), and on appeal, the AAO agreed. The AAO found the evidence submitted for other criteria, such as 'published material about the individual', was insufficient because the petitioner did not establish that the websites cited qualified as major media.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Individual High Remuneration For Services
