Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence, including a youth award from 1982 and articles from the 1980s and early 1990s, was deemed insufficient to prove she has risen to the very top of her field. The AAO also found no evidence of membership in qualifying associations or recent major media coverage about the petitioner.
