Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director found the petitioner met two criteria (judging and artistic displays), but the AAO determined the evidence submitted for 'published material' and 'leading or critical role' was insufficient. The articles were not primarily about the petitioner, the publications' stature was not established, and letters of support lacked specific details to prove her roles were leading or critical to the organizations.
