AAO agreed the Director erred in requiring discussion of standing or ranking, but independently found the published material criterion was not met because most articles lacked required dates, authors, or source identification; one article was not about the Petitioner; one was published after the petition was filed; and the remaining article appeared in a regional community newspaper that did not constitute major media.

Additionally, USCIS records show the companion I-140 petition could not have been mailed on March 1, 2017, as claimed, because USCIS received it on March 7, 2017. AAO concluded the labor certification was expired when the petition was actually filed on May 15, 2017.
AAO explicitly reserved the final merits determination because the Petitioner failed to meet the step-one threshold of at least three criteria, while noting in dicta that the record does not support the required acclaim.
