Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the submitted evidence for awards, memberships, and judging to be insufficient. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish that her awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence, that her employment constituted membership in an association requiring outstanding achievements, or that she actually participated as a judge rather than just being invited.
