Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director determined that the petitioner did not provide evidence of a major, internationally-recognized award, nor did she meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO upheld this decision, concurring that the submitted evidence, such as fellowships and poster awards, was insufficient to establish that the petitioner had risen to the very top of her field.
