Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility. The AAO determined the petitioner did not submit qualifying evidence of a one-time, major internationally recognized achievement, nor did the evidence satisfy at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. As a result, the petitioner did not demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required to be considered at the very top of the field of endeavor as a painter.
