Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet the regulatory standards for exceptional ability in the arts. The AAO found her academic credentials were in unrelated fields, she did not document ten years of experience, and the evidence of union membership, salary, and a university award did not demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered.
