Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate she met the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's awards did not qualify as a major, internationally recognized one-time achievement, and the record did not support a finding that she met at least three of the ten alternative regulatory criteria.
