AAO 为什么未被说服
This criterion is limited to the visual arts. A performing artist performing on stage or in films is not 'displaying' work in the same sense that a painter or sculptor displays work in a gallery. This interpretation has been upheld by a federal district court.

The petitioner failed to submit documentary evidence of sales or box office receipts as required by the regulation. Unsubstantiated counsel assertions are insufficient.

published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The submitted articles were not 'about the alien' as required by the regulation — they were about plays and shows without mentioning the petitioner, or only briefly mentioned him in passing. Additionally, dates were not provided for the articles, and counsel merely provided internet links rather than documentary evidence of circulation data to establish major media status.

leading or critical role for organizations or establishments with a distinguished reputation
AAO 为什么未被说服
The record lacked documentary evidence that the Duke Ellington Center for the Arts has a distinguished reputation relative to other performing arts institutions.

AAO found the journalism award was not in the petitioner's current field of screenwriting/producing; the website material was self-promotional without corroboration; the verification letter was not a proper affidavit; the certificate lacked the award's name and proof of national/international recognition; and the 1994 letter lacked primary evidence of the award.

published material in professional or major trade publications or major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
Most evidence lacked corroboration that publications were professional/major trade or major media; articles about a soap opera rather than about the petitioner himself did not satisfy the 'about the alien' requirement; self-promotional circulation data was unreliable; Wikipedia evidence was unreliable; and petitioner failed to establish national versus regional reach.
