Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required number of regulatory criteria. Specifically, for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, the petitioner failed to submit evidence that one of her awards was nationally or internationally recognized. Furthermore, the AAO determined that evidence of only a single qualifying award was insufficient to meet the plain language of the regulation which refers to 'prizes or awards' in the plural.
