Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three out of ten evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. The Director and the AAO concluded she only met one criterion (leading role). The AAO found that an award given to her employer was not a personal award to the petitioner, the submitted articles were not from major media, and a TV segment filmed at her cafe did not qualify as an artistic exhibition or showcase.
