Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner met two criteria (judging and artistic exhibitions) but found the evidence for 'published material about the petitioner' was insufficient. The petitioner failed to prove the publications qualified as major media, as the website visitor numbers provided lacked comparative data to establish their significance.
