Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director that the 'artistic exhibitions' criterion was met, but found the evidence insufficient for 'published material', 'contributions of major significance', and 'leading or critical role'. The media coverage was not proven to be in 'major media,' and her contributions, while locally successful, were not shown to have influenced the broader fields of photography or fashion design.
