Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner did not demonstrate receipt of a major, internationally-recognized award, nor did she satisfy at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, the evidence for a national climbing competition award was found insufficient to prove it was a nationally recognized prize for excellence, as the evidence of its significance came only from the issuing organization and its competitiveness was not established.
