Decision Summary
The director initially found the petitioner met only one of the required criteria. On appeal, the AAO determined that the petitioner had also submitted sufficient evidence to meet two additional criteria: 'published material about the alien' and 'leading or critical role for organizations'. Because the petitioner satisfied at least three regulatory criteria, the appeal was sustained and the petition was approved.
