Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate she met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that she only met one criterion (published material). The petitioner's argument for the 'awards' criterion was rejected because the awards were for films she worked on, not awarded directly to her, and were often for disciplines outside her specific field of vocal music, such as directing.
