Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the minimum three required evidentiary criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met only one criterion (artistic exhibitions). The AAO concluded that the evidence submitted on appeal was insufficient to meet additional criteria, such as nationally recognized awards, as the submitted award was received after filing and was not shown to be recognized for excellence in the petitioner's field.
