Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of criteria. The evidence for a submitted award did not establish its national or international recognition. Claims of displaying work at exhibitions and commanding a high salary were unsubstantiated assertions without supporting documentary evidence, and the commercial success criterion was deemed inapplicable and also lacked proof.
