Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner, an actress, met the initial evidentiary threshold by satisfying three regulatory criteria (awards, published material, and commercial success), she failed the final merits determination. The AAO concluded that her achievements, including awards won approximately 10 years prior to filing, did not demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required to prove she is among the small percentage at the very top of her field.
