Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim in her current field of circus acrobatics. The AAO found that her past awards and memberships were in gymnastics, a different field, and were not recent. Furthermore, her evidence for circus-related awards, published material, and original contributions was deemed insufficient to meet the regulatory criteria.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Which Require Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Original Artistic, Athletic, Or Business-Related Contributions Of Major Significance
