Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required threshold of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO concluded the petitioner only met two criteria (participation as a judge and display at artistic showcases) but failed to establish that the published material about her was in major media. As the initial evidentiary requirement was not met, the petition was not approvable.
