Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that while the petitioner met the criterion for nationally recognized awards, he failed to establish eligibility for the membership and published material criteria. The evidence did not prove that his membership in associations required outstanding achievements, nor did it establish that the publications featuring him qualified as major media.
