Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director found the evidence, such as student scholarships and a pending membership in an association that did not require outstanding achievements, was insufficient. The AAO agreed, noting that the petitioner's evidence spoke more to her potential as a researcher rather than demonstrating that she had already risen to the very top of her field.
