Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. While the petitioner met the criterion for awards based on medals won in 2001, the AAO found this was not sufficient to prove she is one of the small percentage at the very top of her field, particularly given the lack of comparable achievements in the years leading up to the petition's filing.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence Membership In Associations Which Require Outstanding Achievements Of Their Members
