Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirements. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's fifth place ranking and participation certificates did not constitute a major, internationally recognized award. While the petitioner met the criterion for lesser awards, she failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet at least two other criteria, such as proving her membership in an association required outstanding achievements of its members.
