Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required number of criteria. While the petitioner met the criterion for displaying her work at artistic exhibitions, the AAO found the evidence, including expert letters, was insufficient to establish that her contributions were of major significance to her field. The letters praised her skills but did not show how her techniques had a widespread impact or influenced the work of others.
