display of work at artistic exhibitions or showcases
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO partially agreed that publication in conference proceedings constitutes display, withdrawing that portion of the Director's conclusion, but found the Petitioner failed to establish either that this criterion does not apply to his occupation or that his evidence is comparable under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(4), as unsupported assertions are insufficient.

leading or critical role for organizations with distinguished reputation
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO partially withdrew the Director's conclusion by narrowing the relevant leading role to the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism rather than the overall university, but found the Petitioner still failed to establish the distinguished reputation of that faculty; other claimed roles also failed because the Petitioner did not show his project leadership was leading or critical for the overall organizations involved.

AAO found the citation record and reference letters were insufficient to show major significance, noting that reference letters overstated contributions, supporting evidence showed only limited academic influence at one university, and government citations showed national-level significance only within Brazil rather than in the broader field of urban and regional planning.
