Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed that the beneficiary qualified for the 'lead or starring participant' criterion but found the evidence for the 'published materials' criterion was insufficient, as the petitioner did not prove the publications qualified as major media.
