Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a fine artist, failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for this classification. The AAO concurred with the Director, finding that the petitioner had not demonstrated a major, one-time achievement, nor had she met at least three of the ten lesser evidentiary criteria. The evidence of participation in programs and fellowships was deemed insufficient to meet the criterion for nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards.
