Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for this classification. The director found, and the AAO affirmed, that the petitioner's prizes were regional, not national or international; the media articles about her were not properly translated and there was no proof they were from major media; and her patented invention did not demonstrate a contribution of major significance.
