Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that they met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The Director determined the petitioner met two criteria (awards and judging), and the AAO agreed that the petitioner failed to prove eligibility for other claimed criteria, such as membership in associations and published material in major media.
