Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria for the extraordinary ability classification. The Director and the AAO concluded she only met one criterion (authorship of scholarly articles). Evidence for other claimed criteria, such as prizes and judging, was found insufficient as the awards were given to her employers, not her directly, and her judging role pertained to professional qualifications rather than the work of others.
