Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the awards she received were nationally or internationally recognized. The AAO noted a lack of evidence regarding the significance of the awards beyond the presenting organizations. Additionally, some evidence submitted on appeal was disregarded because it post-dated the petition's filing date and lacked certified translations.
