Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that her academic awards, such as Dean's List and honor society memberships, were local student recognition rather than national or international awards for excellence in her professional field. Additionally, her membership in the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR) did not require outstanding achievements for admission.
