Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required three evidentiary criteria. The director initially found the petitioner met two criteria, but the AAO determined on appeal that the evidence for 'original contributions of major significance' was insufficient. The AAO reasoned that participation in art exhibitions falls under a separate criterion and that the submitted letters of support did not establish contributions of major significance, thus failing to meet the threshold of three criteria.
