Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO disagreed with the Director's assessment of the 'published material' criterion. The AAO concluded that articles in publications like Artforum and The New York Times did meet the criterion's requirements, contrary to the Director's finding that they were insignificant or not 'about' the petitioner. Since this finding meant the petitioner satisfied the minimum three evidentiary criteria, the case was sent back for a final merits determination.
