Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish she had received a major, internationally recognized award as required under the regulations. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's 'Rising Star' award was a student award, not open to all professionals in the field, and lacked evidence of major international media recognition. The petitioner's 'film festival honors' were also found insufficient to meet this high standard.
