Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of criteria. While the AAO found the petitioner satisfied the 'display at artistic exhibitions' criterion, it determined the evidence for other claimed criteria, such as awards and memberships, was insufficient because it consisted of counsel's unsupported assertions about the significance of the achievements rather than required documentation.
