Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the ten regulatory criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO affirmed the Director's findings, noting that while the petitioner provided award certificates, she did not submit sufficient supporting evidence to prove the awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. The petitioner's claims for other criteria were also found to be unsubstantiated, leading to the conclusion that she had not demonstrated sustained acclaim or that she is among the small percentage at the top of her field.
