Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required threshold of at least three evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner had only satisfied two criteria (judging and artistic exhibitions), and found the evidence for other claimed criteria, such as lesser awards and original contributions of major significance, to be insufficient.
