Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for the classification. The petitioner did not provide evidence of a major, internationally-recognized award, nor did she submit sufficient evidence to meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO concluded the petitioner had not shown sustained national or international acclaim and was not among the small percentage at the very top of her field.
