Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that a student award did not qualify as a nationally recognized prize in her professional field and that her memberships in scientific societies did not require 'outstanding achievements' as judged by experts, which is the standard for that criterion.
