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 two criteria (published material and high remuneration), but on appeal, the AAO determined the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to meet additional claimed criteria, such as original contributions of major significance, display at artistic exhibitions, or holding a leading or critical role.
