Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the petitioner's award was regional, not nationally recognized, and her membership in an ensemble did not require outstanding achievements. While the AAO did find the petitioner met the 'published material' criterion, this single criterion was insufficient to grant the petition.
