Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she met the regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that the petitioner's academic scholarships, fellowships, and travel awards did not constitute nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence, but rather were part of her training and career progression. The evidence submitted for other awards was deemed insufficient to establish their significance or selection criteria.
