Do I qualify for EB-1 (EA) for visual arts/ graphic design?

I'm a newbie to the forum and there's little information that I can find for cases in visual arts/ graphic design.
I've decided to elaborate on my previous post, providing more information. Any help will be very much appreciated. So here are my stats once again:

2 International Awards in Graphic Design
One of the competitions was hosted by designboom dot com in collaboration with The Design Association, Japan. The judges of this competition were well recognized practitioners in the field of graphic design. I won the 1st place out of a total of 3871 international participants.

A student award at International Design Awards (idesignawards dot com)
Once again the judges of this competition were well recognized practitioners within the field of commercial art. I won the Emerging Student Graphic Designer of the Year Award. My work was included in the IDA Awards book, distributed to museums nationwide.

Exhibitions:
The winning design for Designboom was exhibited as part of 100% Design Week at group shows in Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, Korea. Design work for the International Design Award was exhibited in a group show at the Museum of Design Art and Architecture in Los Angeles.

I was also selected to be part of a touring exhibition called 'Grown in California' hosted by the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). The exhibitions were held at The Art Center College of Design, Pasadena / Herbst International Exhibition Hall, San Francisco / and the AIGA National Gallery, New York. The judges once again were well recognized practitioners in the field of graphic design and my design work was published in a book.

I've had one solo exhibition of my MFA Thesis at a University.

Graphic Design Work published in books and magazines:
5 instances of my design work have been published in international books and magazines.
7 instances of my design work have been published in national books and magazines. (5 of these were for student awards)

The images of my graphic design work in these books range from one small part of a page to a series of 3-8 pages. All these instances have been credited with my name.

Membership of National Design Organizations:
The American Institute of Graphic Arts, The Art Director's Club (These memberships however, do not require special invitation for membership).

I currently work in the entertainment sector of design with a client roster that includes a few world famous music bands.
While at university, I was selected to teach graphic design classes to undergraduate students for 3 consecutive semesters.

I'm a citizen of India.

I'm wondering if I would qualify for the Eb-1 extra-ordinary ability. Please let me know. Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,
-SG
