Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner only met two criteria (prizes/awards and judging). Evidence for other criteria, such as membership in associations and published material, was found deficient due to a lack of proof of outstanding achievement requirements and publications not qualifying as major media.
