Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director acknowledged that the petitioner met the criterion for displaying her work at artistic exhibitions, the AAO found the evidence submitted for membership in associations was insufficient, as it did not prove that membership required outstanding achievements as judged by experts. Therefore, the petitioner did not meet the minimum threshold of three criteria.
