Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO withdrew the director's finding on the 'prizes or awards' criterion, stating that nominations do not count and there was insufficient evidence that the petitioner's single award was nationally or internationally recognized. The petitioner was found to have abandoned her claim for the 'memberships' criterion on appeal.
