Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the required criteria. The evidence for display at an artistic exhibition was a single event and deemed insufficient to show sustained acclaim. The petitioner also failed to provide documentary evidence for commanding a high salary or having commercial success, submitting only photographs of handbags with listed prices but no proof of income or sales receipts.
