Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as a painter. The evidence for awards was considered local, not national, and had translation deficiencies. The petitioner failed to provide proof of membership in a qualifying association or demonstrate that her exhibitions were held at significant venues.
