Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the evidence for 'published material' was insufficient because the articles were not primarily about the beneficiary and the outlets were not proven to be 'major media.' The petitioner also failed to show that the beneficiary's work constituted 'original contributions of major significance' to the field.
