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