Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. Although the Director found three criteria were met, the AAO disagreed, finding only the 'awards' criterion was satisfied. The evidence for 'published material' was deficient as articles lacked authors and proof of the media's major status, and the evidence for 'judging' was also deemed insufficient.
