Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner, an oil painting artist, did meet at least three regulatory criteria for extraordinary ability. The evidence proved membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement, participation as a judge of others' work, and display of her art in exhibitions. The AAO also found that the petitioner had sufficiently established her plans to continue her work in the United States, thereby overcoming all grounds for the initial denial.
