Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. While the AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner satisfied the 'leading or critical role' criterion, it found the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' and 'membership in associations' criteria was insufficient. The awards were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in her field, and the evidence for membership did not establish that the association requires outstanding achievements for its members.
