Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because despite meeting the minimum of three evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed the final merits determination. The AAO concluded the petitioner did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim, as her recognition was only at a provincial level and her high-ranking role did not automatically place her at the top of her field. The credibility of the evidence was also undermined by the petitioner's partial disavowal of prior submissions.
