Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, while the petitioner met the initial evidence requirements by satisfying four criteria, the record did not establish sustained national or international acclaim in the final merits determination. The Director and the AAO found the evidence, including awards received several years prior to filing, insufficient to prove the petitioner was one of the small percentage at the very top of her field.
