Decision Summary
The AAO found that the Director improperly applied extra-regulatory standards when denying two criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner did in fact meet the criteria for judging the work of others and for displaying work at artistic exhibitions, bringing the total number of satisfied criteria to three. The case was remanded for the Director to conduct the final merits determination, which was not previously performed as the initial evidentiary threshold was not considered met.
