Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not demonstrate that he met the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO overturned the Director's favorable decision on the 'published material' criterion, finding the articles were about the petitioner's band, not him individually. Although the AAO found the petitioner did meet the 'awards' criterion, he ultimately did not satisfy enough criteria to qualify for the classification.
Criteria Discussed
Published Material Awards Display Of Work At Artistic Exhibitions Or Showcases Membership In Associations Leading Or Critical Role
