Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove she sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of her field. The AAO found that her successes were primarily as an amateur in the 1990s, and she had not won any prizes or awards since turning professional in 1998. Therefore, her earlier acclaim was not considered sustained at the required professional level.
