Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as a professional football player. The AAO determined that her recognition as a finalist for a 'Whammy Award' did not qualify as a major, internationally recognized award. Furthermore, it did not satisfy the criterion for lesser awards because she was only a finalist and did not provide evidence of actually receiving the award.
Criteria Discussed
Major, Internationally Recognized Award Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
